võrgutüüpi

võrgutüüpi is an Estonian term that translates to "network type" or "network category." It is used to describe the classification or classification of a computer network based on various characteristics. These characteristics can include the physical topology of the network, the size and geographic reach of the network, the architecture used, and the purpose for which the network is intended.

Common network types include Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and Personal Area Network (PAN). LANs are typically confined to a small area like a home or office building. WANs cover a broad geographic area, connecting multiple LANs over long distances, often using telecommunications lines. MANs are larger than LANs but smaller than WANs, typically spanning a city or a large campus. PANs are the smallest, designed for communication between devices in close proximity to an individual.

Beyond these common classifications, võrgutüüpi can also refer to logical network structures such as client-server networks, peer-to-peer networks, and virtual private networks (VPNs). The specific võrgutüüpi determines how devices communicate, the protocols used, and the overall performance and security of the network. Understanding the võrgutüüpi is crucial for network design, management, and troubleshooting.
