1. LAN-local area network- allows small group of computers to share resources.
2. WAN-Wide area Network- usually connected to many LANs for a large group of computers to share resources. the largest WAN is the internet.
3. WLAN- Wireless local area network- It is a LAN that uses wireless capabilities to share resources rather than traditional cables.
4. WEP- Wired Equivalent Privacy- is a protocol that adds security to (WLAN) wireless local area networks equivalent to wired networks.

ReplyDeletei like your article. Thanks for your good presentation.
ReplyDeleteRe #9, if you are switching (layer 2), you are switching frames, not packets. Packets are routed (layer 3). Other than that a great nutshell guide :-)
