Basic Network Types • LAN - Local Area Network • small area (e.g. a building) • small number of machines • WAN - Wide Area Network • large area • usually a collection of LANS • MAN - metropolitan area network
Old LAN Topologies Bus NetworkToken Ring
Common LAN Topology • Star Network • Ethernetis the most common type of LAN • Advantage: • Fault Tolerant • Disadvantage: • lots of wires • requires a "switch"
Network Reality Figure 7-2 from textbook
Network Devices • Switch • Router • Bridge, Repeater, ... • Hub • Printers • Servers
Transmission Media • Twisted-Pair • used in your house for the phone • used by a DSL Modem • also used for Ethernet • Coaxial Cable • used in your house for cable TV • used by a Cable Modem • Radio • WiFi • Bluetooth • Fiber Optic

Net Neutrality • The Internet is mostly neutral. • Every packet is equal to every other packet, regardless of type, destination, or owner. • The Case For Neutrality: • Neutrality ensures a level playing field. • The Case Against Neutrality: • The telecom companies own the "pipes", so they should be allowed to manage them and charge for them however they want.
