Local Area Network 
A computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group 
of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio 
waves. 
A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN). Most LANs connect 
workstations and personal computers. Each node (individual computer) in a LAN has its own CPU with which it 
executes programs, but it also is able to access data and devices anywhere on the LAN. 
This means that many users can share expensive devices, such as laser printers, as well as data. Users can also 
use the LAN to communicate with each other, by sending e-mail or engaging in chat sessions. ARCNET, Token Ring 
and other technology standards have been used in the past, but Ethernet over twisted pair cabling, and Wi-Fi are the 
two most common technologies currently used to build LANs. 
There are many different types of LANs Ethernets being the most common for PCs. Most Apple Macintosh 
networks are based on Apple's AppleTalk network system, which is built into Macintosh computers. 
The following characteristics differentiate one LAN from another: 
Topology: The geometric arrangement of devices on the network. For example, devices can be arranged in a 
ring or in a straight line. 
Protocols : The rules and encoding specifications for sending data. The protocols also determine whether 
the network uses a peer-to-peer or client/server architecture. 
Media : Devices can be connected by twisted-pair wire, coaxial cables, or fiber optic cables. Some networks 
do without connecting media altogether, communicating instead via radio waves. [IT 1452 FUNDAMENTALS OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING]

Larger LANs are characterized by their use of redundant links with switches using the spanning tree protocol 
to prevent loops, their ability to manage differing traffic types via quality of service (QoS), and to segregate traffic 
with VLANs. 
Larger LANs also contain a wide variety of network devices such as switches, firewalls, routers, load 
balancers, and sensors. LANs may have connections with other LANs via leased lines, leased services, or by tunneling 
across the Internet using virtual private network technologies. 
Depending on how the connections are established and secured in a LAN, and the distance involved, a LAN 
may also be classified as a metropolitan area network (MAN) or a wide area network (WAN). 
Cabling 
Early LAN cabling had always been based on various grades of coaxial cable. However shielded twisted pair was used 
in IBM's Token Ring implementation, and in 1984 Star LAN showed the potential of simple unshielded twisted pair 
by using Cat3-the same simple cable used for telephone systems. 
This led to the development of 10Base-T (and its successors) and structured cabling which is still the basis of most 
commercial LANs today. In addition, fiber-optic cabling is increasingly used in commercial applications. As cabling is 
not always possible, wireless 
Ethernet 
Ethernet is the most widely-installed local area network (LAN) technology. Specified in a standard, IEEE 802.3, 
Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox from an earlier specification called Aloha net (for the Palo Alto Research 
Center Aloha network) and then developed further by Xerox, DEC, and Intel. 
Ethernet was named by Robert Metcalfe, one of its developers, for the passive substance called "luminiferous (lighttransmitting) ether" that was once thought to pervade the universe, carrying light throughout. Ethernet was so-named 
to describe the way that cabling, also a passive medium could similarly carry data everywhere throughout the network
.When first widely deployed in the 1980s, Ethernet supported a maximum theoretical data rate of 10 megabits per
second (Mbps). [IT 1452 FUNDAMENTALS OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING]
