LAN
Local Area Network a computer network that spans a
relatively small area sharing common resources. Most
LANs are confined to a single building or group of
buildings.
N
NAT
Network Address Translator generally applied by a router,
that makes many different IP addresses on an internal
network appear to the Internet as a single address. For
routing messages properly within your network, each
device requires a unique IP address. But the addresses
may not be valid outside your network. NAT solves the
problem. When devices within your network request
information from the Internet, the requests are forwarded
to the Internet under the router's IP address. NAT
distributes the responses to the proper IP addresses within
your network.
Network
A network consists of a collection of two or more devices,
people, or components that communicate with each other
over physical or virtual media. The most common types
of network are:
LAN
– (local area network): Computers are in close
distance to one another. They are usually in the same
office space, room, or building.
WAN
– (wide area network): The computers are in
different geographic locations and are connected by
telephone lines or radio waves.
