How to distinguish between wide area network and local area network
Editor to share with you how to distinguish between the wide area network and the local area network, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article. Let's learn about it!
The wide area network and the local area network are divided according to the scope of the network. The wide area network is a remote network that connects the computer communication of the local area network or metropolitan area network, while the coverage of the local area network is generally within a few thousand meters. It has the characteristics of convenient installation, cost saving, convenient expansion and so on, which makes it widely used in all kinds of offices.
Wide area network and local area network are divided according to the scope of the network.
Wide area network (Wide Area Network, abbreviated as WAN), also known as wide area network, external network, public network. It is a remote network that connects local area network or metropolitan area network computer communication in different areas. It usually spans a large physical range, ranging from tens of kilometers to thousands of kilometers. It can connect multiple regions, cities and countries, or span several continents and provide long-distance communication to form an international remote network. The WAN is not the same as the Internet.
The coverage of LAN is generally within a few thousand meters, and it is widely used in all kinds of offices because of its convenient installation, cost saving, convenient expansion and so on. Local area network can achieve file management, application software sharing, printer sharing and other functions. In the process of use, by maintaining the security of the local area network, it can effectively protect the security of data and ensure the normal and stable operation of the local area network.
The above is all the contents of the article "how to distinguish between WAN and LAN". Thank you for reading! I believe we all have a certain understanding, hope to share the content to help you, if you want to learn more knowledge, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
