Study Notes

Network Basics

  • A network connects devices, people, or systems to communicate and share information.

Network Types

  • PAN (Personal Area Network): A small network designed to connect devices close to a single user.

    • Examples: smartwatch and smartphone, laptop and phone.
    • Uses: file sharing between devices, internet sharing via mobile hotspot.

  • LAN (Local Area Network): A network in a small area like a home, school, or office.

    • Examples: computers in a school lab sharing a printer, devices connected to a home Wi-Fi.
    • Uses: sharing files or homework, printing documents from multiple computers.

  • WAN (Wide Area Network): Connects computers over large areas like cities or countries.

    • Examples: the internet, banks linking branches nationwide.
    • Uses: watching videos, sending emails, making video calls.

Internet

  • The Internet is a vast global network connecting computers and devices worldwide.

IP Address
