Week 1: Introduction and the Application Layer Discussion
Networks and Protocols (graded)
Atlas advertising: Atlas advertising is a regional advertising agency with offices in Boston, New York, Providence,
Washington D.C., and Philadelphia.
1. Describe what types of networks you think they would have (e.g., LANs, BNs, WANs) and where they are likely
to be located?
2. What types of standard protocols and technologies do you think they are using at each layer (e.g., please see
textbook Figure 15)?

LAN vs WAN Professor Gander 8/27/2016 7:35:36 PM
Class, how is a LAN different from a WAN?
RE: LAN vs WAN Karly Derosena 8/28/2016 9:38:02 AM
a) LAN : (local area network) is a group of computers and network devices connected together,
usually within the same
building. By definition, the connections must be high speed and relatively inexpensive (e.g., token
ring or Ethernet).
WAN : (wide area network), is not restricted to a geographical location, although it might be confined
within the bounds
of a state or country. A WAN connects several LANs, and may be limited to an enterprise (a
corporation or an organization) or accessible to the public. The technology is high speed and
relatively expensive.
The Internet is an example of a worldwide public WAN.
The classroom network is example of local area network LAN.

The Marketing departments of companies these days are involved in the development of
corporate WEB Sites because of the tremendous reach that a WEB Site can have in the
marketplace. As such, Bob Jones’ department should be consulted and have
representation in the WEB Site development process. The image projected by the quality
of the WEB Site will be a critical factor to its success.

Local area networks can, of course, only operate locally in small areas such as office buildings or even just
one floor of a building. They're not regulated by the FCC, are cheaper than WANs, and also much easier to
set up. Their speed is also greater on the whole.
WANs (wide area networks) cover a much larger area and connect larger companies with branches pretty
much anywhere. With this, you can have a very intricate and large network. However, also with this
comes a much larger cost and often slower speeds than the LAN network.
The while both LAN and WAN are area networks, they have a few differences. LAN is a local area network.
This network refers to a location like a building or campus. It's generally small geographically. Most LANs
can be represented with network devices. They tend to be demarcated by a firewall and usually only have
one or two ways to get to the WAN network. A WAN is a wide area network. This tends to be bigger than
a LAN. A WAN can represent a city wide network all the way up to a the world network itself. LANs can
make up WANs but the reverse is not true. Telecommunication companies tend to deal with the WAN.
Where companies tend to deal with their own networks.

LAN is a local area network where all the computers are in the same general location such as
office or building or a group of nearby buildings where computers are usually connected by a
single cable or a local WiFi connection.
WAN which is also known as a wide area network and it is the one that covers a much bigger
region than a local are network, which could be across a town, region, country or the entire
world. A WAN uses an external cabling such as a phone network or a cable company's fiber optic.
Unlike LAN, a WAN is usually owned by a different organization to the people, and to the people
and organizations that use the network to send and receive data. A Wan will have slower data
transfer speeds than a LAN.

A local area network is a network of computers usually within the same geographical location such as an
office building, a college campus, a hospital etc. These computers are usually connected together by
Ethernet cables but could also have wireless connections. A wide area network is a connection of LAN’s
that covers a larger geographical region. For Example branches of offices in different towns. a country.
LAN’s could be wired or wireless whilst WANs usually use external cabling or fiber optics. LAN data speeds
are faster because of its proximity whilst WAN data speed transmission are slower. Data transfer
technology for a LAN is different from a WAN.
Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers located in the same area. It is generally a clearly
defined small area from one floor to a group of buildings. The example in the book uses McClellan Air Force
Base, and I will concur that my Air Force Base in Ohio is also a grouping of buildings that the LAN covers.
LANs are connected to the backbone network, which connects several other networks. In my case in the
Air Force, our backbone network is the network for the entire Air Force, in which the Air Force Bases are
connected.
Wide Area Network (WAN) connect backbone networks and Metropolitan Area networks. This isn't usually
built by an organization themselves, but use leased circuits from larger internet service providers.

RE: LAN vs WAN Christopher Grindey 8/29/2016 10:59:52 AM
A LAN or Local Area Network is a groups computers together in a small area. The area could be a floor in a
building, the entire building itself or the building and the surrounding areas. The LAN has a defined coverage
area and is way smaller than a WAN, Wide Area Networks. A LAN is usually supported by the company that
is employing it. In contrast, the WAN is usually supported by another company. This is because a WAN
covers a large area and most companies lease the circuits for this coverage. Common companies that
provide WAN are Sprint or AT&T.

LAN A local area network (LAN) is a computer network covering a local area, like a home, office, or group
of buildings located close to each other. Current LANs are most likely to be based on switched IEEE 802.3
Ethernet, or WiFi technology running at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps.
Generally, a local area network consists of local proximity devices to each other and has limitations of
finite distance. The LAN can be either wired or wireless, but only in one place.
WAN A wide area network or WAN is a computer network covering a wide geographic area, in contrast
with personal area networks (PAN), metropolitan area networks (MANs) or local area networks (LANs)
which are usually limited to a room, building or campus. The most important example and best known of
a WAN is the Internet.
A wide area network (WAN) consists of several LANs connected with each other over long distances. An
example would be a corporate office connected to each of its satellite offices.

The main difference is: LAN is a computer network that connects computers in small areas while WAN is a
network that covers a broad area using private or public network transports.
Thank you!

A LAN (local area network) is a group of computers and network devices connected
together, usually within the same building. By definition, the connections must be
high speed and relatively inexpensive (e.g., token ring orEthernet). Most Indiana
University Bloomington departments are on LANs. A WAN (wide area network), in
comparison to a MAN, is not restricted to a geographical location, although it might
be confined within the bounds of a state or country. A WAN connects several LANs,
and may be limited to an enterprise (a corporation or an organization) or accessible
to the public. The technology is high speed and relatively expensive. The Internet is
an example of a worldwide public WAN.
