Local Area Network
Above figure show that there is all device connected with it & these form a small network.Here gadgets are connected with each other & they used to share data from each other.The IEEE 802 standards is set by the IEEE organizations of the United states of America .
Advantages Of LAN:-
- It's help in sharing data from user to printer in a network.
- LAN communication is faster than other network. It's accessible faster.
- It helps to configure easily & it maintains easily.
- Provide communication in smaller area network with limited network elements.
- New user or equipment can be installed and configured easily.
Disadvantage of LAN:-
- Limited number of computer can be connected in LAN.
- It doesn't cover large area.
- Network performance get low when number of connecting device is increased.
- LAN is more prone to virus & hacking than Standalone Computers.
