types of network topologies
BAS
A BAS is used to control energy consuming equipment—primarily for heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and lighting controls
RING
A ring topology is a network configuration where device connections create a circular data path
MESH
A mesh network is a local area network topology in which the infrastructure nodes connect directly, dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with one another to efficiently route data to and from clients.
STAR
Star topology is a network topology in which each network component is physically connected to a central node such as a router, hub or switch
.
network architecture
Network architecture refers to the structure and organization of a computer network. It defines how devices and components within a network are connected and how data is transmitted between them.
Network architecture plays a crucial role in determining the network's performance, scalability, security, and overall functionality
There are several key components and concepts within network architecture:
1.Topology
Network topology refers to the physical or logical layout of devices in a network and how they are interconnected.
2.Protocols
Network protocols are a set of rules and conventions that govern how data is formatted, transmitted, and received within a network
3.Hardware components
This includes the physical devices that make up a network, such as routers, switches, hubs, access points, and network cables
4.Software Components
Network architecture also involves software elements, like network operating systems, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems
cloud computing
Cloud computing is a technology that provides on-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources over the internet
the main types of cloud computing
1.Public Cloud
Public clouds are owned and operated by third-party cloud service providers and are accessible to the general public
2.Private Cloud
A private cloud is dedicated to a single organization, providing the benefits of cloud computing while maintaining greater control, security, and privacy
3.Hybrid Cloud
A hybrid cloud combines elements of both public and private clouds. It allows data and applications to be shared between them seamlessly.
Differences between LAN, MAN, WAN
LAN (Local Area Network)
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
Geographic Scope
LANs are limited to a relatively small geographical area, such as a single building, a campus, or a small office.
MANs cover a larger geographical area than LANs but are smaller in scope compared to WANs.
WANs cover the largest geographical area among the three types of networks.
WAN (Wide Area Network)
LAN (Local Area Network)
Data Transfer Speed
MANs offer moderate to high data transfer speeds, depending on the technology and infrastructure in use.
WANs can have varying data transfer speeds, ranging from low to very high, depending on the technology and infrastructure.
LANs offer high data transfer speeds, often reaching gigabit or even 10 gigabit speeds.
