What is Computer Networking and Its types of Computer Networking?

We live in a world that is extremely interconnected. In real-time, information is produced, shared, and tracked all over the world. It's possible because virtually everyone and everything in the modern world is linked in some way.

In this article, we discussed Computer Networking, Types of Computer Networking(PAN, LAN, MAN, WAN), and its Uses & Advantages. This Article Even Covers the Class 12 Computer Network notes.


What is networking?

In an information system, networking, also known as computer networking, is the process of transporting and sharing data between nodes over a common medium. The design, construction, and use of a network are all part of networking, as is the management, maintenance, and operation of the network infrastructure, software, and policies.

Devices and endpoints may be linked to each other on a local area network (LAN) or to a wider network, such as the internet or a private wide area network, using computer networking (WAN). This feature allows service providers, companies, and customers all over the world to share resources, use or sell services, and connect. Anything from phone calls to text messages to streaming media to the internet of things is made easier with networking (IoT).

 

Types of Computer Networking

A computer network is a group of computers linked to each other that enables the computer to communicate with another computer and share its resources, data, and applications.

A computer network can be categorized by its size. A computer network is mainly of four types:

  1. PAN (Personal Area Network) 
  2. LAN (Local Area Network) 
  3. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
  4. WAN (Wide Area Network)



PAN (Personal Area Network):

  •  Personal Area Network is a network arranged within an individual person, typically within a range of 10 meters. 
  •  Personal Area Network is used for connecting the computer devices of personal use is known as Personal Area Network. 
  • Thomas Zimmerman was the first research scientist to bring the idea of the Personal Area Network. 
  • Personal Area Network covers an area of 30 feet. 
  •  Personal computer devices that are used to develop the personal area network are the laptop, mobile phones, media player, and play stations.

Two types of Personal Area Network:

  1. Wired Personal Network 
  2. Wireless Personal Network 

Wireless Personal Area Network: Wireless Personal Area Network is a low-range network. It is developed by simply using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.

Wired Personal Area Network: Wired Personal Area Network is a network that is created by using a USB.

 

LAN (Local Area Network):

  •  Local Area Network is a group of computers connected to each other in a small area such as a building, office.
  •  LAN is used for connecting two or more personal computers through a communication medium such as twisted pair, coaxial cable, etc.
  •  It is less costly as it is built with inexpensive hardware such as hubs, network adapters, and ethernet cables.
  • The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in the Local Area Network.
  •  Local Area Network provides higher security.

Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration.
