This study investigated social support networks (father, mother, classmates, and teachers) in a sample of 447 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years. Using a cross-sectional design, the main aim was to analyze differences in the sources of family and school support during adolescence based on...
Computer networks are commonly classified based on both their purpose and size. Gain a better understanding of network classification as you explore several different types of networks, including LAN, WAN, WLAN, MAN, SAN, and the specific purposes of PAN, EPN, and VPN networks. ...

Not all networks are the same, however. Several types of networks are available, and each exists to support the devices, size and location of the system. Networks also have different levels of access and forms of connectivity. Practicing and aspiring network professionals need to understand the d...

In addition, most wired networks have a dedicated cable that runs to each end user device. In a Wi-Fi network, the medium (the radio frequency being used for the network) is a shared resource, not just for the users of the network, but often for other technologies as well (Wi-Fi ...
Type of Networking The size of a computer network defines its classification. A network can be tiny, containing only one system, or as large as needed. The following are the various types of computer networks: PAN LAN MAN WAN PAN (Personal Area Network) ...
Below are eight common types of network devices -- excluding load balancers and firewalls -- that are typically found within networks. 1. Access point An access point (AP) is a device that sends and receives data wirelessly over radio frequencies, using 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands. Clients, su...
Before configuring OSPF attributes in different types of networks, complete the following tasks: Configuring IP addresses for interfaces to ensure that neighboring nodes are reachable at the network layer Configuring Basic OSPF Functions Configuration Procedure Configuring network types of OSPF interfaces ...
Not all networking technologies support all types of connections.Ethernetlinks, for example, support broadcast, butIPv6does not. The sections below describe the different connection types commonly used on networks today. Caiaimage / Paul Bradbury / Getty Images ...
