communications network is an interconnected system of computers,
terminals, and other hardware established for the purpose of
exchanging information or services between individuals, groups, or
institutions. www.gxmu.edu.cn medium DATA PC Chapter 2 Network

point of connection into a network, or a point at which one or more
transmission lines (circuits) interconnect, such as where a router
or a switch connects into the network. www.gxmu.edu.cn five node

GEOGRAPHY Networks that cover a small geographic area are called
LANs. www.gxmu.edu.cn 2.3.1 LAN (Local Area Networks) / LAN network
could be installed in a home. LAN is useful for sharing resources
like files, printers, games or other applications. Chapter 2

Slide 10
Network Management and Operation Key attribute of LAN Its
limited geographic scope. Don`t care the number of nodes. much
higher data-transfer rates. LANs are frequently found in business
offices. And lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

Networks that cover a broad geographic area are called WANs. WANs
usually crosses public rights of way. The Internet is the largest
WAN, spanning the Earth. www.gxmu.edu.cn Chapter 2 Network

network If one division's network fails, the other division are not
affected. Easy to extend
Slide 26
Network Management and Operation 2.4.3Mesh network It is
similar to a hierarchical network, except that there are more
interconnections between nodes at different levels-or even at the
same level. ADVS: provides redundant connection. No single point of
failure that cause entire network to fail. WAN and PSTN are
configured in a mesh topology. www.gxmu.edu.cn Chapter 2 Network

Network Management and Operation Advantages: www.gxmu.edu.cn
Very high speed transmission. High reliability, All stations are
independent of one another. Are limited in the distance they can
traverse. Easy to implement and extend. Requires less cable length
than a star topology Well suited for LAN. Cheaper than other
topologies. Chapter 2 Network Classification
Slide 32
Network Management and Operation Disadvantages Limited cable
length. If there is a problem with BUS, the entire network goes
down. faults can be difficult to locate.. It works best with
limited number of nodes. Performance degrades as additional

OWNERSHIP 2.5.1Private Networks It is usually built by an
organization for its exclusive use. a network that uses private IP
address space www.gxmu.edu.cn *A private network is a network built
and owned by a communications company, a common carrier, or another
organization for use by its customers or other constituency.F

Slide 44
Network Management and Operation Advantages And Disadvantages
It can make better use of circuits than a public network could. Can
be made from circuits acquired from a communications carrier. It
give the company full control of the network's operation and
provides better security. May be connected to a public network. May
be more expensive on communication than public networks.
