1. Network Design Overview

Types of Nets - LANS, CANS, WANS

LANS - local area networks, small numbers of machine, strong management authority, high performance, media-centric

CANS - campus-area networks, multiple buildings, weak management, backbones and ribs, multi-media

WANS - wide-area networks, coupling CANs together, strong but limited management authority, long-haul vender dependent, increasingly includes Internet gateway
