Creating a Wide Area Network Example

A wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunication network used to connect computers. A wide area network typically contains smaller networks and is typically used in conjunction with packet switching or circuit switching. To create a WAN topology, first create a network diagram in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM. A network diagram helps you understand the underlying physical network. It is important to understand how each network type works and how it is organized.

WAN topology diagram

A WAN topology diagram displays the relationships between various nodes in a network. A network may consist of multiple hosts connected by cable or through a router. These networks are commonly used for computer networking and architecture. There are three basic types of WAN topologies: star, hub, and mesh. Each one requires different resources and additional efforts to operate. This article will introduce the different types of WAN topologies. A network diagram is a useful tool … Continue reading >>>

Ways in Which Your Business Can Benefit from A VPN

The Internet is a wonderful tool but a dangerous place too. Here, data is everything, and you need to protect it at all costs. And here comes VPN to your rescue.

Virtual Private Network(VPN) is your go-to go tool in cases of the requirement of high-end online security and a low IT budget. Let us know a few more details about this innovative online tool.

Security

VPN acts as a multi-layer encryption security service. It hides your real IP address by assigning it a different address, packaging the original one. This protects your data from unknown cyber-attacks.

VPN, when combined with hardware and software service, provides enhanced security, often quoted as a private tunnel that channels data from home location to destination in a safe mode.

Various government policies allow online scrutiny of data, and sometimes, it poses a risk to the privacy of the business. VPNs such as TrueConnect … Continue reading >>>

Computer Network – Overview

If you’ve ever used a telephone, tracked a package with an overnight shipper, or purchased a new car from a dealership, you’ve used a network. Of course, they weren’t computer networks-they were, respectively, the phone company’s switching network, the overnight shipper’s package-tracking network, and the car manufacturer’s distribution network. And although these networks move phone calls, packages, and cars instead of computer data, they are examples that explain the fundamental purpose of a network. The single most important purpose of any network-computer or otherwise-is to link similar items together using a set of rules that ensures reliable service.

Computer Network - Overview

In the telephone network’s case, the rules have to do with what happens when you dial a phone number based on how many digits you dial: If you dial seven digits, it’s a local call; eleven digits is a long-distance call. For the overnight shipper’s network, the rule is that your package … Continue reading >>>
