Reply With QuoteQ.2: Suppose computer A is connected to another computer B by a passive hub at home. You are required to mention the type (LAN, MAN or WAN) of this computer network? Support your answer with reason?
1) Geographical area:
As we knew that, A and B computer connected with each other at home, it's one good reason to understand that, our network is Local area network LAN. Because local area network always restricted to limited geographical area like home, work station, building etc.
2) Passive Hub:
if we talk about passive hub, it is central connecting device in network that act as a point contact for wires from numerous stations. But it doesn't coordinate as a signal regeneration or processing of signals. So it's second good reason to understand that, we are under local area network LAN. Suppose that, we are in WAN or MAN network, definitely we need to regenerate signal to maintain network effectiveness . But here we are using passive hub, so we are in Local area network.
