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
- An IP address is a unique numerical label that identifies a device on the internet or a local network.
- An example is 192.168.1.1.
- IP stands for Internet Protocol.
WWW
