Local network area. Computer and Network Examples
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers on the limited area such as a home, office building, school, bank, computer laboratory, etc.
The LANs connect workstations, computers and devices. It can connect two, three users (home network) or more than thousand users (FDDI network). The users of the LANs can communicate with each other, each computer of the LAN can use the common devices (such as printers, scanners, etc.) and data. LANs can transmit the data on the limited distances fast enough.
Now the most common technologies for building LANs are Ethernet over twisted pair cabling and Wi-Fi. A number of corporations use the Token Ring, FDDI, ARCNET technologies.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful network diagramming and vector drawing software. It provides the Computer and Networks Area with many Solutions that contain the wide set ready-to-use predesigned vector stencils and examples to help you design the LANs quick and easy.

A Virtual network is a computer network that consists of virtual network links, i.e. between the computing devices there isn't a physical connection.
Well known forms of network virtualization are virtual networks based on the virtual devices (for example the network based on the virtual devices inside a hypervisor), protocol-based virtual networks (VLAN, VPN, VPLS, Virtual Wireless network, etc.) and their combinations.
This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and shows the Virtual network.

When describing any computer network, we imagine a set of devices and nodes, arranged in some way. Talking about network structures, we should distinguish physical and logical network topologies, as physical topology is about devices location and logical topology illustrates data flow. In the same time, they do not have to match, and some devices, such as repeaters, may have a physical star layout, but a bus logical topology.
There are two main types of computer network topologies: Physical topology that show the physical organization of a network - equipment and types of connections. Star network topology involves a set of devices that is connected to a single hub (router). Ring network topology means that, devices connected according this topology have two connections, connecting with nearby devices to make a loop. Bus network topology is the topology presented at the current diagram. It is similar to a ring topology. The difference is that data moves up and down a linear connection, copying itself where network equipment works as bus-stations along the way. This network topology can be used for small network, or when adding an extra device into a network.
