Title: Identify network types and topologies.
Course: Computer Information Systems, Advanced (10005-IV) > Section: Executing Networking Activities

Identification should include a list of network types (e.g., local area network [LAN], wide area network [WAN], personal area network [PAN], peer-to-peer, server-based) and the components required to make each type of network operational. Characteristics that differ from one LAN to another include:

- Topology (e.g., bus, ring, star, mesh)
- Protocols
- Media
