Offers high speed communication in mbps, Provides many of the facilities found in LAN.
In this network the expensive h/w & s/w can be The communication medium/link is the
shared using coaxial/twisted-pair cables. telephone line/fiber optics/ wireless
technologies.
ii. It is difficult to manage because every peer can share or access resources at the
same time.
iii. It needs a large number of cables every computer must be connected to every
other computer on a network.

1. Client-Server Networks
It acts simultaneously both as a client & server with the other computers in the
network. It benefits the user to transfer large files efficiently & equally providing
the bandwidth & storage capacity etc.
Characteristics
It is suitable for small network (up to 10 computers).
It does not provide centralized security.
3. Point – to – Point Networks: In this architecture the message is sent from one
computer connected to a LAN via servers to another computer network. It is used
to connect multiple LANs to create a larger network (WAN).
Characteristics
Point – to – Point networks are generally used for long distance communication.
There may be different paths for transmission of data.

Bluetooth Network
Pairing a Bluetooth Network
➢ The process of setting up a Bluetooth network is called pairing.
➢ Pairing is done through interaction between two users.
➢ Users have to confirm the identity of the devices.
➢ After pairing, the devices can communicate with each other.
➢ It is possible to pair one device to multiple devices.
Star topology: all the terminals are linked to the central point known as
“switch/access point” & information is passed from a terminal to another through
the central point.
Ring topology: All the computers are connected in a closed loop. The information is
passed from a computer to another in one-way direction & each computer has the
capability of identifying its own address, this term is also known as “token ring
passing”.

Bus topology: All the terminals are connected through a single cable using
connectors. Each computer in a network identify it message itself. At the both end
of bus topology “terminator” are attached so that signals don’t bounce back
causing errors.

1. DSL is the general term for the Digital Subscriber line, whereas ADSL is a type
of DSL.
2. The full form of DSL is Digital Subscriber Line. The full form of ADSL is
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
3. ADSL represents the internet which makes use of digital relations between a
phone line and a modem. In the ADSL type of network, the data sending
speed is called upstream, and the data receiving speed is called downstream.

4. In DSL the upload and download speed is almost the same. On the other hand,
in ADSL the download speed is faster than the upload speed.
5. DSL is the main family of technology, whereas ADSL is a part of this family.
6. DSL is not asymmetric in nature whereas ADSL is asymmetric in nature.
Advantages of DSL
1. It is broadly and easily available as it is built using existing telephone
lines.
2. The cost of DSL is less as compared to satellite or broadband
connections.
3. You can use internet connections even while making calls.
Disadvantages of DSL
1. One has to be near the telephone in order to have a high-speed internet
connection.
2. These cost more than other faster types of connections.
Internet (International Network) is the largest computer network all over the
Internet has brought a huge revolution in our daily life & reduces the distances.
