Network Technology
Network technology is a broad term that covers any technology that enables two or more devices to connect and communicate with each other. These technologies can be as complex as the Internet itself or as simple as a dial-up connection between two PCs. There are many different types of network technologies, each with its own purpose and benefits. Some of the most common types of network technologies include:
- Personal area network (PAN): A PAN is a small network that connects devices within close proximity to each other, such as a computer, a smartphone, and a printer. PANs are typically used for sharing files, printers, and other resources.
- Local area network (LAN): A LAN is a network that connects devices within a single building or campus. LANs are typically used for sharing files, printers, and other resources, as well as for connecting to the internet.
- Metropolitan area network (MAN): A MAN is a network that connects LANs within a city or metropolitan area. MANs are typically used for providing high-speed internet access, as well as for connecting businesses and other organizations.
- Wide area network (WAN): A WAN is a network that connects LANs and MANs over a large geographic area. WANs are typically used for connecting businesses and other organizations that are located in different cities or countries.
- Content delivery network (CDN): A CDN is a network of servers that is used to deliver content, such as web pages, images, and videos, to users. CDNs are typically used to improve the performance and availability of content.
- Virtual private network (VPN): A VPN is a secure network that is created over a public network, such as the internet. VPNs are typically used to connect to a corporate network from a remote location, or to access the internet securely.
Some examples of network technology include:
- Ethernet
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- TCP/IP
- IP addressing
- Routing
- Switching
- Firewalls
