    Network architecture refers to the design of a computer network, including its physical components, functional organization, configuration, operational principles, communication protocols, and more. There are three main types of computer networks: local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). LANs connect computers within a small physical area like a room or building. MANs connect computers within a city or between neighboring cities. WANs connect computers across wide geographical areas like countries or continents.

    Computer Network

    Architecture
    Network architecture-
    is the design of a computer
    network. It is a framework for the
    specification of a network's physical
    components and their functional
    organization and configuration, its
    operational principles and procedures,
    as well as communication protocols
    used.
    Network Category
    3 Types of Network category
    LAN
    MAN
    WAN
    A local area network (LAN) is small network of
    computer. It is a network of computers within small
    area like room, building, or colleges. Nowadays
    instead of cables, wireless media are used as data
    transmission channel. LAN where wireless media
    are used is known as Wireless Local Area Network
    Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
    It is larger network than LAN.Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a
    network of computer within a city or between neighboring cities. Big
    companies like banks, offices etc use MAN. In MAN, cables and
    unbounded communication media are used as the transmission
    channels.
    Wide Area Network (WAN)
    A wide area network (WAN) is a very large network of computers. WAN
    is a network of a computer in a wide geographical areas such as country,
    neighboring countries, continent etc. A WAN can be formed by joining
    many LANs and WANs. The Internet and Intranet are the WANs.
    Types of Network Topology
    Network Topology is the schematic description
    of a network arrangement, connecting various
    nodes(sender and receiver) through lines of
    connection.
    BUS Topology
    Bus topology is a network type in which
    every computer and network device is
    connected to single cable. When it has
    exactly two endpoints, then it is called Linear
    Bus topology.
    Features of Bus Topology
    1. It transmits data only in one direction.
    2. Every device is connected to a single
    cable
    RING Topology
    It is called ring topology because it forms a ring as
    each computer is connected to another computer,
    with the last one connected to the first. Exactly two
    neighbours for each device.
    STAR Topology
    In this type of topology all the computers are
    connected to a single hub through a cable. This hub is
    the central node and all others nodes are connected
    to the central node.
    The Different Types of
    Communication Medium Used
    in Networks
    Communication medium refers to the physical channel through which
    data is sent and received. Data is sent in the form of voltage levels
    which make up the digital signal. A digital signal consists of 0s and 1s;
    essentially, a 1 corresponds to a high voltage, while a 0 corresponds to a
    low voltage.
    The speed of data transmission or data rate depends upon the type of
    medium being used in the network. There are basically two types of
    networks:

    Wired network
    Wireless network
    Wired Network
    In a wired network, data is
    transmitted over a physical
    medium. There are three types of
    physical cables used in a wired
    network.
    Twisted pair cable
    It consists of a pair of copper wires twisted around each other; the
    wires are around 1 to 2 mm thick and they are twisted to reduce the
    interference from the surrounding wires. Remember that a current
    carrying wire has a magnetic field around it that can interfere with
    that of another wire when in close proximity.
    It is the most expensive of wired mediums and offers the
    highest rates of data transmission. They are often used in
    long distance communications and are never affected by
    any electromagnetic fields. This is because it involves
    light.
    Offering better data rates and less signal attenuation, a coaxial cable
    consist of a central copper conductor that is surrounded by a foil
    shield. The foil is covered by yet another shield known as a braided
    shield. Unlike twisted pairs, coaxial cables only have a single copper
    conductor. The conductor and the foil shield are separated by a
    dielectric.
