A local area network or LAN is a computer network covering a local area, such as an office or a home. This is different from personal area networks (PANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs) or wide area networks (WANs). LANs are typically faster than WANs.
The earliest popular LAN, ARCnet, was released in 1977 by Datapoint and was originally intended to allow multiple Datapoint 2200s to share disk storage. Like all early LANs, ARCnet was originally vendor-specific. Standardization efforts by the IEEE have resulted in the IEEE 802 series of standards. There are now two common wiring technologies for a LAN, Ethernet and Token Ring. Wireless technologies are starting to evolve and are convenient for mobile computer users.
When using Ethernet the computers are usually wired to a hub or to a switch. This constitutes the physical transport mechanism.
The Spanning tree protocol is often used to maintain a loop free network topology within a LAN, particularly with ethernet.
A number of network protocols may use the basic physical transport mechanism including TCP/IP. In this case DHCP is a convenient way to obtain an IP address rather than using fixed addressing. LANs can be interlinked by connections to form a Wide area network. A router is used to make the connection between LANs.

A wide variety of systems of interconnected components are called networks. Specific examples include:
General-purpose mathematical models of network structures and associated algorithms have been developed in graph theory.
- transport networks,
- roads,
- railroads,
- shipping routes and
- airlines,
- pipelines (gas, petroleum, water, sewage),
- electric circuits - a network of electrical components.
- electricity networks (electric power - generation, transmission and distribution.)
- social and/or business networks. (studied in, say, sociology)
- criminal networks
- telecommunications networks
- computer networks, which transfer information between computers. (Specific configurations include star networks and grid networks.) The Internet is a large-scale computer network. Also, a website and the whole World Wide Web are networks of webpages, a link web.
- public switched telephone networks, which route audio signals from one telephone to another
- radio networks, which create and distribute radio programming
- television networks, which create and distribute television programming
- financial networks.
- network externality in economics
Networks can be characterized in a number of different ways. For example, many networks are Scale-free networks, in which a few network nodes act as "very connected" hubs.
Network is also an Academy Award-winning film.

Network is a 1976 film which tells about a television network news anchor whose insane rantings draw big ratings numbers. It is a cynical look at the way networks make decisions about programming and the disdain that they show for the audience.The movie stars Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, Wesley Addy, Ned Beatty and Beatrice Straight. It was written by Paddy Chayefsky, and was directed by Sidney Lumet.
It won Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Peter Finch, posthumously), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Faye Dunaway), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Beatrice Straight) and Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. It was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (William Holden), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Ned Beatty), Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Film Editing and Best Picture.
Beatrice Straight's performance, which won her the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, was the shortest Oscar-winning role until Judi Dench won in 1998 for Shakespeare in Love.
In 2000 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Famous quotes
- We're not a respectable network. We're a whorehouse network, and we have to take whatever we can get.
- I would like at this moment to announce that I will be retiring from this program in two weeks time because of poor ratings. Since this show is the only thing I had going for me in my life, I've decided to kill myself. I'm going to blow my brains out right on this program a week from today. So tune in next Tuesday. That should give the public relations people a week to promote the show. You ought to get a hell of a rating out of that. Fifty share, easy.
- You've got to get mad! You've got to say, "I'm a human being, goddamn it! My life has value!" I want you to go to the window, open it, stick your head out and yell: "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" I want you to get mad. I don't want you to protest, I don't want you to riot, I don't want you to write to your congress man, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression, the inflation, the Russians, or the crime in the streets. All I know is that first...You've got to get mad!
- This was the story of Howard Beale, the first known instance of a man who was killed because of lousy ratings.

The network layer is level three of the seven level OSI model. It responds to service requests from the transport layer and issues service requests to the data link layer.The network layer addresses messages and translates logical addresses and names into physical addresses. It also determines the route from the source to the destination computer and manages traffic problems, such as switching, routing, and controlling the congestion of data packets.
The network layer provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable length data sequences from a source to a destination via one or more networks while maintaining the quality of service requested by the Transport layer. The Network layer performs network routing, flow control, segmentation/desegmentation, and error control functions.
The network layer deals with transmitting information all the way from its source to its destination - and transmitting things from anywhere you like, to anywhere you like. If you can't contact a place at the network layer, then you can't contact that place at all. However, it does it in a very basic way, without error detection or flow control, or anything else. Here are some things that the network layer needs to address:
In the traditional postage system (commonly referred to as snail mail) this role is provided by the postman (to some extent).
- Is the network connection orientated or connectionless? For sample, snail mail is connectionless, because you can send a letter to someone completely out of the blue. On the other hand, the telephone system is connection orientated, because you have to close to one half and make a connection before you can talk to them.
- What are the Global Addresses? Everybody in the network needs to have a unique address which determines who they are. This address will normally be hierarchical, so you can be "Fred Bloggs" to Londoners, or "Fred Bloggs, London" to people in the UK, or "Fred Bloggs, London, UK" to people anywhere in the world. On the internet, these addresses are known as IP Numbers.
- How do you forward a message? This is of particular interest to mobile applications, where a user may rapidly move from place to place, and it must be arranged that his messages follow him. IPv4 doesn't really allow for this, though it has been hacked on somewhat at a later date. Fortunately, the forthcoming IPv6 has a much better designed solution, which should make these kinds of applications much smoother.

A network model database management system has a more flexible structure than the hierarchical model or relational model, but pays for it in processing time and specialization of types. Some object-oriented database systems use a general network model, but most have some hierarchical limitations.The neural network is an important modern example of a network database - a large number of similar simple processing units, analogous to neurons in the human brain, 'learn' the differences and similarities between a number of inputs. At any one time the 'weights' assigned to different connections between layers of neuron-like processing units constitute a set of assertions about what is most closely related to what.
This enables prototype models to be built or inferred from the weights, and possibly used to define formal typed link or typed object schemas. Internet search engines like Google use a technique similar to this, to determine whether a link could normally be expected to a given page on the World Wide Web, from a page containing the search terms.
As this example suggests, network models are particularly useful to text analysis. One approach, called singular value decomposition, enables many-dimensional maps of large corpus text databases to be drawn, and to generate an orthogonal base of vectors of difference between text. This approach yielded interesting results, such as the fact that a given medical specialty typically contained 100-140 degrees of freedom in its text corpus - a number remarkably similar to the number of human beings in a village of optimal size according to anthropology. This led to speculation that tracking differences in implications of medical papers and tracking differences in behavior of one's neighbors relied on the same mental module in the brain. It remains controversial, but if it were so, that would suggest that the human brain's cognition resembles a network database more than the other models.

The public switched telephone network (PSTN) is the concatenation of the world's public circuit-switched telephone networks, in much the same way that the Internet is the concatenation of the world's public IP-based packet-switched networks. Originally a network of fixed-line analog telephone systems, the PSTN is now almost entirely digital, and now includes mobile as well as fixed telephones.
The PSTN is largely governed by technical standards created by the ITU-T, and uses E.163/E.164 addresses (known more commonly as telephone numbers) for addressing.
The basic digital circuit in the PSTN is a 64-kilobit-per-second channel, originally designed by Bell Labs, called a "DS0" or Digital Signal 0. To carry a typical phone call, the audio sound is digitized at an 8 kHz sample rate using 8-bit pulse code modulation.
The DS0's are the basic granularity at which switching takes place in a telephone exchange. DS0's are also known as timeslots because they are multiplexed together in a time-division fashion. Multiple DS0's are multiplexed together on higher capacity circuits, such that 24 DS0's make a DS1 signal, which when carried on copper is the well-known, T-carrier system, T1 (the European equivalent is an E1, containing 32 64 kbit/s channels). In modern networks, this multiplexing is moved as close to the end user as possible, usually into cabinets at the roadside in residential areas, or into large business premises.
The timeslots are conveyed from the initial multiplexer to the exchange over a set of equipment collectively known as the access network. The access network and inter-exchange transport of the PSTN use synchronous optical transmission (SONET and SDH) technology, although some parts still use the older PDH technology.
Within the access network, there are a number of reference points defined. Most of these are of interest mainly to ISDN but one - the V reference point - is of more general interest. This is the reference point between a primary multiplexer and an exchange. The protocols at this reference point were standardised in ETSI areas as the V5 interface.
Only the very oldest and most backward parts of the telephone network still use analog technology for anything other than the last mile loop to the end user, and in recent years digital services have been increasing rolled out to end users using services such as DSL and ISDN.
In the 1970s the telecommunications industry conceived that digital services would follow much the same pattern as voice services, and conceived a grandiose vision of end-to-end circuit switched services, known as the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN). The B-ISDN vision has been overtaken by the disruptive technology of the Internet.
Many observers believe that the long term future of the PSTN is to be just one application of the Internet - however, the Internet has some way to go before this transition can be made: see the article on Voice over IP for more on this subject.
The PSTN was the earliest example of traffic engineering to deliver Quality of Service guarantees. (See the work of A.K. Erlang for some history on this).
Note: there are also a number of large private telephone networks which are not linked to the PSTN, usually for military purposes. There are also private networks run by large companies which are linked to the PSTN only through limited gateways, like a large PABX system.

A Radio network is a network system which distributes radio programming to multiple radio stations. Most radio networks also produce much of their programming.Radio networks rose rapidly with the growth of regular broadcasting of radio to home listeners in the 1920s.
The growth took various paths in different places. In Great Britain the BBC was developed with government funding and a broadcasting monopoly in its early decades. In contrast in the United States of America various competing commercial networks arose funded by advertising revenue.
Early on programs were sent to affiliate stations by various methods, including over telephone lines, on pre-recorded analogue disc records, and somewhat later via relay stations. Later on coaxial cable linking stations became the norm.
Many early radio networks evolved into Television networks.

A television network is a distribution network for television content whereby a central operation provides programming for many television stations. Until the mid-1980s, television programming in the United States was dominated by a small number of broadcast networks, but with the advent of cable television the cost of creating a television network has been reduced and there have been a huge increase in the number of networks with most of the newer networks catering to a small group. Many early television networks evolved from earlier radio networks.Broadcast television networks:
