CHAPTER 6
LAN
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that spans within a relatively small area close to each
other, such as in an office building, a school, or a home. LANs are characterized by their topology, protocols,
and media. Topology is the geometric arrangement of devices on a network. Protocols are the rules and
encoding specifications for sending data. Protocols also determine whether the network uses a peer-to-peer
or client/server architecture. The most common type of LAN is Ethernet.
