A local area network (LAN) system is provided that is capable of accommodating a variety of computer subsystem types, and having a LAN controller which can control at substantially the same time a plurality of LANs of the same type or a plurality of different types of LANs.JOHN W. CONWAY...
A local area network (LAN) provides networking needs around a single location, such as an office, a school, a university, a hospital, or an airport. Typically, a LAN is privately owned and requires authentication and authorization to access. Of the different classifications of a network, a ...
Network Switches form the backbone of computer networks and are one of the main building blogs of a Local Area Network (LAN). A network switch usually operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model (working with the Ethernet protocol) but there are switch models that implement also routing, which can...
A wireless network, whether PAN, LAN, MAN, or WAN, helps users connect wirelessly with your network, the internet, and each other.
LAN stands forLocal Area Network, and the definition is a group of devices in the same geographical location (your home, your office, or your local cafe) that are interconnected and able to talk to one another. Some LANs can be very large, consisting of many thousands of devices. But unl...
You may have heard of different types of networks, such as wireless networks and local area networks. However, fundamentally, they all fall into one of the following two categories: Aprivate networkis where a level of authentication and authorization is required to access devices and...

A method and system for distinguishing between devices of different types (e.g., mobile and stationary devices) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) in order to provide additional services to one or the other. The method includes obtaining a device type for the terminal, and providing spec...
Passive sniffing:When several devices are connected to your Local Area Network (LAN) or wireless network, a hacker could connect too and passively monitor traffic going through this hub. This type of packet sniffing can be very difficult to detect — think of it like covert spying or wiretappi...
