Computer Network Services

There are two main types of computer network services. True With regard to geographic area, it is possible to categorize services into two different types. The first type is called a local area network (LAN). A LAN has the capability to reach across a home or office. The other type is the wide area network (WAN) which can reach quite a bit further: across the world. LAN connectivity is most often used in home offices or small businesses while a WAN may be more common in large businesses, especially when international transactions and communication are important for the business. A large company with franchises in many countries would benefit from a WAN. 3. Computer network services language is called topology. False The language used in technology is called protocol.
