Internet is the biggest network. They are a lot of computers, servers, routers, modem are connected across the world.
Network Topologies: This is the way the computers are connected on the network. They can be as simple or complex as neededalso can be logical or physical.

Network types:
* LAN: Local area network. Those are for regional areas, mostly are limited for walls, like an office.
* WAN: Wide area network. It is an extended network. It can cover all the downtown, for example.
* MAN: Metropolitan area network. It is a WAN, that can cover a country or a very big area.* WLAN (Wireless local area network) and WWAN (Wireless wide area network) they are the same that LAN and WAN, however they are cords free.
How the information is transmitted on the network?
The information goes over the network, on little amounts of data, called packages.
Each package must have:
* To
* From
* Address from sender and receiver

Themaximum size for a package is 65500 Kb.

DHCP means: Dynamic Host Configure Protocol.
