Computer Network by Scale

Jaringan komputer menurut Skala

Jaringan komputer dapat diklasifikasikan menurut skala ukurannya : Personal area network (PAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Campus Area Network (CAN), Metropolitan area network (MAN), atau Wide area network (WAN). Dengan meningkatnya Ethernet sebagai standard interface jaringan, perbedaan-perbedaan ini lebih penting pada sisi administrator jaringan ketimbang pada end user. Administrators jaringan mungkin mengatur jaringan, berdasarkan selang waktu yang terjadi karena jarak yang ada, untuk memperoleh Quality of Service (QoS) yang diinginkan. Perbedaan utama pada jaringan adalah besar ukurannya. Controller Area Networks adalah sarang khusus, sebagai pengontrol vehicle's engine, boat's electronics, atau sebuah set dari factory robots.



Computer Network by Scale


By scale
Computer networks may be classified according to the scale: Personal area network (PAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Campus Area Network (CAN), Metropolitan area network (MAN), or Wide area network (WAN). As Ethernet increasingly is the standard interface to networks, these distinctions are more important to the network administrator than the end user. Network administrators may have to tune the network, based on delay that derives from distance, to achieve the desired Quality of Service (QoS). The primary difference in the networks is the size.
Controller Area Networks are a special niche, as in control of a vehicle's engine, a boat's electronics, or a set of factory robots.
