Nettverkstype
Nettverkstype refers to the classification of computer networks based on their size, scope, and the technologies they use. Understanding the different types of networks is essential for designing, implementing, and managing effective communication systems. The primary categories of networks include:
Local Area Networks (LANs) are small-scale networks that cover a limited geographical area, such as a single
Wide Area Networks (WANs) span larger geographical areas, such as cities, countries, or even globally. WANs connect
Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) cover a larger area than LANs but smaller than WANs, typically within a
Personal Area Networks (PANs) are the smallest type of network, covering a very short range, usually within
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are similar to LANs but use wireless technologies instead of wired connections.
Each type of network has its own set of advantages, disadvantages, and use cases, making them suitable
