Information sharing
Having users access the same files, exchange information via email, or use Internet Ex: single purchase order database accessed by all users on the LAN Results in improved decision making
Resource sharing
Having hardware devices shared by all users Printers, Internet connections Having software packages shared by all users on a LAN Results in reduced cost
Peer-to-peer network
No dedicated servers used All computers act as both clients and servers Cheaper than dedicated, but less capability
Others
File servers Allows many users to share the same files on a common disk drive Typically with restricted access Print servers Handle print requests Could be a separate computer Remote Access Servers Enable users to dial in the LAN by phone (via modems)

Wired LANs
Project 802 by IEEE: standards to enable communication among equipments: Its a way of specifying functions of the physical layer and the data link layer of major LAN protocols. IEEE subdivided data link layer: Logical Link Control (LLC), Media Access Control (MAC).
MAC defines specific access method for each LAN: - CSMA/CD for Ethernet LAN, - Token passing for token ring, -
- LLC provides one single data link control protocol for all IEEE LANs. - MAC provides different protocols for different LANs.
Ethernet LAN is defined by IEEE 802.3 standard, it uses 1-persistent CSMA/CD as the access method. The MAC sublayer is responsible for the operation of the CSMA/CD.
Each station has a unique 48-bit address imprinted on its Network Interface Card (NIC). Example of an address in hexadecimal notation:
Frame length: The minimum frame length is 64 bytes; the maximum is 1518 bytes.
