I. Introduction

The networking environment is very complex. There are several things about this subject. From types of network and standards to protocol. In this task, you need to learn about the Cisco Packet Tracer to do a lab.

1. Benefits and constraints of several network

1.1. Network type

It include 4 mainly network types that you have to listen a) LAN – local area network The most frequently discussed network is Local Area Network, one of the most prevalent, the most original and the simplest network types. LANs link groups of computers and low-voltage devices over short distances to exchange information and resources (within a building or between a group of two or three buildings in close proximity to each other). Usually, businesses handle and manage LANs.

The Internet is the most simple instance of a WAN, linking all computers around the world together. Because of the wide scope of a WAN, multiple administrators or the public usually own and manage it. Figure 2. Wide Area Network

c) PAN – personal area network A PAN is the smallest and most common type of network, consisting of a wireless modem , a computer or two, computers , printers, tablets, etc., and in one building it revolves around one person. In small offices or homes, these types of networks are usually found and are operated from a single computer by one person or organization. Figure 3. Personal Area Network

2. Benefits of different network types a) LAN – local area network - LAN-connecting devices can easily share data with each other. - Can connect to other peripherals, for example: printers, photocopiers... - The connection is inexpensive and easy to set up. - A range of fault-tolerant features are supported by LANs, improving reliability and reducing downtime for your company. - Contact with other users by means of a messaging system is also provided. This makes management more efficient for your company. b) WAN – wide area network - Although a WAN may consist of a wide geographical region, spanning national or international boundaries, a LAN can only span a house. - The network provides both the collection of information and a mechanism for exchanging the information with other users of the network. - Servers that increase security are available. c) PAN – personal area network - Efficient , cost-efficient and convenient PANs are effective. - Some PANs, using the same radio bands, can interfere badly with other wireless networking technologies. - Networks with Bluetooth are reasonably stable but have sluggish data speeds. d) MAN – metropolitan area network - The MAN link to the WAN network is less costly. - Quick and free sending local emails on MAN. - Higher speed than WAN. - Online Sharing. - The LAN to MAN conversion is very quick. - With High Security.

3. Network standards

3.1. Definition

Through specifying the rules of communication between networked devices, networking standards ensure the interoperability of networking technologies. There are networking specifications that help ensure that products from different manufacturers can operate together in a network without the chance of incompatibility.

3.2. Network protocol standards

During data communication, a number of standards may be used simultaneously at the different layers. The commonly used standards at each layer are:

  • Application layer − HTTP, HTML, POP, H.323, IMAP
  • Transport layer − TCP, SPX
  • Network layer −IP, IPX
  • Data link layer − Ethernet IEEE 802.3, X.25, Frame Relay
  • Physical layer −RS-232C (cable), V.92 (modem)

3.3. Types of Standards

Some of the noted standards organizations are:

  • International Standards Organization (ISO).
  • International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
  • Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE).
  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
  • Internet Research Task Force (IETF).
  • Electronic Industries Association (EIA).

1.2. Mesh topology

A mesh topology is a network configuration where each computer and network unit is linked to each other. Even if one of the connections goes down, this topology configuration allows for most transmissions to be distributed. This is a widely used topology for wireless networks. Figure 6. Mesh Topology

1.3. Bus topology

A bus topology is a Local Area Network ( LAN) topology in which all the nodes are connected to a single cable. A "backbone" is called the cable that the nodes link to. The entire section fails if the backbone is destroyed. Figure 7. Bus Topology

1.5. Tree topology

A tree topology is a particular type of structure in which several associated elements are arranged like a tree's branches. Tree topologies, for example, are also used to arrange machines in a corporate network or data in a database. Figure 9. Tree Topology

1.6. Hybrid topology

A hybrid topology is a type of topology of a network that uses two or more different topologies of the network. A variation of bus topology, mesh topology, ring topology, star topology, and tree topology can be used in these topologies. Figure 10. Hybrid Topology
