1.1 Network Types/Technologies

Local Area Networks (LAN)

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)

Backbone

MAN

WAN

5

1.2 Network Layers Most Commonly Used Models:

• OSI (Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model)

• Network Model

Protocols & Protocol Data Unit (PDU)

6

1.2 Network Layers (Network Model)

7

1.2 Network Layers (CCNA TCP/IP Model)

8

1.2 Network Layers – Packetization

Packetization is breaking down user data into small segments packaging these segments appropriately so that

they can be delivered and reassembled across the network
