Group of computers and devices connected by transmission media.

A computer that is not connected to other computers and uses local software and data.

A network where a central server facilitates communication and resource sharing among clients.

A network model where each computer can communicate directly with others and has equal authority.

Local Area Network confined to a relatively small space.

Metropolitan Area Network extending beyond building boundaries, connecting clients and servers from multiple buildings.

Wide Area Network connecting two or more geographically distinct LANs or MANs.

A server providing file services, sharing data files and applications across the network.

Network Interface Card, a device inside a computer that connects it to the network media.

Software that manages client data, resources, application sharing, and user access.

A standard method for communication between networked devices.

The physical layout of a computer network.

Distinct units of data exchanged between nodes in a network.

Allow remote users to connect to the network and machines outside the network.
