LAN (Local Area Network)
WAN (Wide Area Network)
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)
PAN (Personal Area Network) (Personal Area Network).
Devices, wires, and software are all components of computer networks.
Computers, routers, switches, modems, and servers are examples of devices.
Cables are used to link the devices, and software is used to administer the network and allow the devices to communicate with one another. 💻📡🔌🌐
Protocols are a collection of rules that control network communication between devices. 📜🔍📤📥
Some of the most prevalent protocols used in computer networks:
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol),
DNS (Domain Name System),
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), and
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
TCP/IP is the most commonly used protocol in computer networks, responsible for transmitting data over the internet.
DNS is used to translate domain names into IP addresses,
