    Study Notes

    Network Fundamentals

    • A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network that connects devices in a limited geographical area, typically within a building or campus.
    • A peer-to-peer network is a network in which all devices have equal status and can act as both clients and servers, sharing resources and data without a central server.

    Network Advantages

    • The main advantage of a network is that it enables resource sharing, communication, and collaboration between devices and users.

    Network Topologies

    • A star network refers to a network topology in which all devices connect to a central device, such as a hub or switch, which acts as a central connection point.

    Network Types

    • A wide area network (WAN) is a computer network that covers a large geographical area, such as a city or country, and connects multiple LANs together.
