This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: ch3 netw type, Types of networks include WAN's which are WAN (Wide Area Network) Switched (Uses routers) May cover a county, state, country or the whole world A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a data communications network that covers a relatively broad geographic area and often uses transmission facilities provided by common carriers, such as telephone companies. A WAN is an interconnection of LANs. A WAN functions at the lower three layers of the OSI model., Types of networks include WMAN's which is like WiMax covers great distance 2-50km range 1.5-20 BW Mbps Latency 5-20ms, Types of networks include WLAN's which is like WIFI 150-1500M range 2-54 BW Mbps Latency 5-20ms, Types of networks include Internetworks which is a communication subsystem in which several networks are linked together to provide common data communication facilities that overlay the technologies and protocols of the individual component networks and methods used for their interconnection, example: routers or gateways, Types of networks include WWAN's which is like GSM, 3G huge, range is worldwide .01-2 BW Mbps Latency 100-500ms, Types of networks include PAN's which are a sub category of local networks in which the various digital devices carried by a user are connected by a low cost, low energy network, Types of networks include MAN's which are MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) Unswitched Covers a City, Types of networks include Network errors which are an additional point of comparison, frequency and types of failure that can be expected in different types of network, example: packets being lost, duplicate packets can be submitted and recieved, Types of networks include LAN's which are LAN (Local Area Network) Unswitched (Does not use routers) Usually covers a building
