Q & A

What is a computer network?

A computer network is a system of interconnected computers that can communicate with each other using various media such as cables, fiber optics, or wireless technology.

What are the different types of computer networks based on their coverage area?

The different types of computer networks based on coverage area include Local Area Network (LAN), Corporate Area Network (CAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), and the Internet.

Can you explain what a Local Area Network (LAN) is?

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that connects computers within a limited area such as a home, office, or school, typically using cables or Wi-Fi.

What is a Corporate Area Network (CAN)?

A Corporate Area Network (CAN) is a network that connects multiple LANs within a company or organization, which may include different buildings or areas such as offices, libraries, and dormitories.

What is a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)?

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a network that covers a larger geographical area than a LAN or CAN, typically used within a city or metropolitan area.

How does a Wide Area Network (WAN) differ from a MAN?

A Wide Area Network (WAN) covers an even larger area than a MAN, often spanning multiple cities, countries, or even continents, and is used for connecting LANs across vast distances.

What role does the TCP/IP protocol play in computer networks?

The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of protocols that governs how data is exchanged between computers over the Internet, ensuring proper communication and data transfer.

What is an Internet Service Provider (ISP)?

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that provides internet access to users. Examples include Telkom Indonesia, Biznet, and mobile operators like Telkomsel, XL, and Smartfren.

What is bandwidth and how does it affect internet speed?

Bandwidth refers to the capacity or speed of an internet connection, typically measured in terms of data transfer rate. The higher the bandwidth, the faster the internet speed, affecting how quickly data can be uploaded or downloaded.

What is the significance of the World Wide Web (WWW)?

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a system of interconnected documents and resources accessible via the internet. It is accessed using web browsers by entering URLs, allowing users to interact with various online resources.

What are some common internet services that benefit from internet connectivity?

Some common internet services include email (email), e-banking, e-learning, e-commerce, and e-government, all of which rely on the internet to provide convenient, digital solutions for communication, shopping, and various other tasks.
