Editor to share with you what is the basis of the computer network is divided into wide area network and local area network, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article, let's learn about it!

The network is divided into wide area network, metropolitan area network and local area network according to geographical scope. Among them, the local area network is a kind of network which is used in a small area and consists of multiple computers, the coverage is usually limited to 10 kilometers, and belongs to a small area network of a unit or department component.

The network is divided into wide area network (WAN), metropolitan area network (MAN) and local area network (LAN) in terms of geographical scope.

According to the geographical coverage, computer networks can be divided into three categories: local area network, metropolitan area network and wide area network.

Local area network (LAN). Local area network is a kind of network composed of multiple computers, which is used in a small area, and its coverage is usually limited to 10 kilometers. It belongs to a small area network set up by a unit or department.

Metropolitan area Network (MAN). Metropolitan area network is a network that works between wide area network and local area network, and its network coverage can usually be extended to the whole city. With the help of communication optical fiber, multiple local area networks are connected to the public city network to form a large-scale network. so that not only the resources in the local area network can be shared, but also the resources between the local area networks can be shared.

Wide area Network (WAN) Guangzhou City Network is a long-distance network, involving long-distance communications, the coverage can be a country or more countries, or even the whole world. Because the geographical distance of the wide area network can be more than thousands of kilometers, the information attenuation is very serious. This kind of network generally rents special lines and connects with the lines through the interface information processing protocol to form a mesh structure to solve the pathfinding problem.

The above is all the contents of the article "what divides the network into wide area network and local area network". Thank you for reading! I believe we all have a certain understanding, hope to share the content to help you, if you want to learn more knowledge, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
