Computer Network: 计算机科学导论： 网络是硬件和软件的组合，它把数据从一个地方发送到另一个地方。硬件是指把信号从网络 中的一点传送到另一点的物理设备。软件由指令组成，这些指令使得我们希望从网络得到的 服务成为可能。 Wiki: A computer network or data network is a telecommunications network which allows computers to exchange data. In computer networks, networked computing devices exchange data with each other using a data link. The connections between nodes are established using either cable media or wireless media. The best-known computer network is the Internet. Foundations of computer science： A network is the interconnection of a set of devices capable of communication. In this definition, a device can be a host (or an end system as it is sometimes called) such as a large computer, desktop, laptop, workstation, cellular phone, or security system. A device in this definition can also be a connecting device such as a router which connects the net?work to other networks, a switch which connects devices together, a modem (modulator?demodulator) that changes the form of data, and so on. These devices in a network are connected using wired or wireless transmission media such as cable or air. When we connect two computers at home using a plug-and-play router, we have created network, although very small. Local Area Network: 计算机科学导论： 局域网是为个人计算机或工作站间的资源共享而设计的。共享的资源包括硬件，软件或者数 据。LAN 的大小可能有每个软件拷贝的许可用户数决定，或由访问操作系统的许可用户数决 定，目前，LAN 局限于几公里内。 Wiki: A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building and has its network equipment and interconnects locally managed. By contrast, a wide area network (WAN), not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves leased telecommunication circuits or Internet links. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two most common transmission technologies in use for local area networks. Foundations of computer science： A local area network (LAN) is usually
