Answer to Question 1

Networks are classified by the distance between nodes, the way the network is managed, and by how data is exchanged between nodes.
Distance: Networks are distinguished by how close or far the nodes are to each other. Personal area networks connect devices close to one person, local area networks connect devices within a contained geographic area such as a room or building, and wide area networks connect nodes that span a large physical distance.
Management: Networks can be classified as peer-to-peer networks such as home networks, or client/service networks similar to the Internet.
Network Standard: The most popular way to connect computers to a network is an Ethernet network, which has both wired and wireless standards.
