switch Use these images to create the networks described on the separate slides.

Explain basically how the network would function and who would use this type of a network.

In a LAN, each node is connected to each other. It allows many devices to connect to one internet connection which can be managed centrally, one printer and file sharing.

Peer to Peer/Home or Office

In peer to peer each computer has its own OS and software, and have direct connection to each other. Any computer can access hardware connected to others such as printer.

Client server
The client server has all the software and recourses on it and all other computers are clients, which must connected centrally to the server.

Internet peer to peer (P2P)

internet

In peer to peer each computer has its own OS and software, and have direct connection to each other. Once computer connected to the internet shares its connection with other computers.

Bus Network

In a bus network, there is often a server at one end and a backbone single data path is shared. There is a terminator node at the end, which in this case is the WAP.
