A PAN is a network connecting devices in a small area, while a LAN connects devices within a limited area such as a home or office. A WAN is a network that spans a large geographical area. Latency refers to the time it takes for data to travel, ISP provides internet services, bandwidth is the capacity of a network, and data throughput is the rate at which data is transferred through a network.
Prompt 1: PAN (Personal Area Network)
A PAN, or Personal Area Network, refers to the connection of devices in a small geographical area, usually around a person, such as their smartphone, smartwatch, and laptop. It allows these devices to communicate with each other and share data wirelessly.
Prompt 2: LAN (Local Area Network)
A LAN, or Local Area Network, is a network that connects devices within a limited area, such as a home, office, or school. It enables the sharing of resources like printers and files among connected devices.
Prompt 3: WAN (Wide Area Network)
A WAN, or Wide Area Network, is a network that spans a large geographical area, connecting devices in different locations via public or private networks. The Internet is an example of a WAN.
Prompt 4: Latency
Latency refers to the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another in a network. It is influenced by factors such as distance, network congestion, and processing delays. Lower latency results in faster communication and smoother user experience.
Prompt 5: ISP (Internet Service Provider)
An ISP, or Internet Service Provider, is a company that provides internet access to individuals and organizations. It connects users to the internet through various technologies, such as DSL, cable, or fiber, and offers services like email, web hosting, and online gaming.
Prompt 6: Bandwidth
Bandwidth refers to the capacity of a network to transmit data. It determines the amount of data that can be transmitted in a given time period. Higher bandwidth allows for faster data transfer rates and supports activities like streaming HD videos and downloading large files.
Prompt 7: Data Throughput
Data throughput is the rate at which data is transferred through a network or system. It is a measure of the actual data transfer performance in practice. Factors like bandwidth, latency, and network congestion affect the data throughput.
