Network Classification - (BCA / B.Tech)

Network Classification in Computer Networks:

A computer network is a system in which various devices are connected to each other to exchange data. The classification of networks is done based on various criteria, such as size, geographical extent, data transmission method, user roles, etc. This classification helps us understand the structure of a network and how it functions.

Networks are classified based on:

Geographical Area: This includes LAN (Local Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), and WAN (Wide Area Network).
Topology: This describes how devices are connected. Main types are Bus, Ring, Star, and Mesh topology.
Data Transmission Method: This refers to the direction of data flow: Simplex, Half-Duplex, and Full-Duplex.
Ownership: This includes Private Networks (e.g., a company's intranet) and Public Networks (e.g., the Internet).

The document provides detailed definitions, characteristics, and examples for each classification.
