lan and wan


The advantages of a LAN and WAN. The LAN are the same as those for any group of devices networked together. The devices can use a single Internet connection, share files with one another, print to shared printers, and be accessed and even controlled by one another.
LANs were developed in the 1960s for use by colleges, universities, and research facilities, primarily to connect computers to other computers. It wasn't until the development of Ethernet technology (1973, at Xerox PARC), its commercialization (1980), and its standardization (1983) that LANs started to be used widely.
WAN covers larger geographical area. Hence business offices situated at longer distances can easily communicate.
Like LAN, it allows sharing of resources and application softwares among distributed workstations or users.
The software files are shared among all the users. Hence all will have access to latest files. This avoids use of previous versions by them.
