    1. Why computer networking is important?


     To share resources among computers via connecting them.

    2. What makes a connection a broadband connection?

     The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access


    that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access.
     In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide
    band of frequencies is available to transmit information

    Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such


    as:

    Cable Modem
    Fiber
    Wireless
    Satellite

    3. What is an LAN?

     A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated


    devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to
    a server.
     A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for
    example, in a small-office network) or several hundred users in a
    larger office. LAN networking comprises cables, switches, routers and
    other components.
     A local area network (LAN) supplies networking capability to a group
    of computers in close proximity to each other, like in an office
    building, school, or home.
     LANs are usually built to enable the sharing of resources and services
    like files, printers, games, applications, email, or internet access.

    4. What is an MAN?

     It refers to Metropolitan-area network


     A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects
    users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger
    than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but
    smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN).
     The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a
    single larger network (which may then also offer efficient connection
    to a wide area network). The latter usage is also sometimes referred to
    as a campus network.
    Community network
    Municipal wireless network
    Wireless community network

    5. What is an WAN?

     A WAN (wide area network) is a communications network that spans


    a large geographic area such as: across cities, states, or countries.
    They can be private to connect parts of a business or they can be more
    public to connect smaller networks together.

    6. What is the difference between an intranet and an extranet?

     An intranet is a network where employees can create content,


    communicate, collaborate, get stuff done, and develop the company
    culture.
     An extranet is like an intranet, but also provides controlled access to
    authorized customers, vendors, partners, or others outside the
    company.
