• GAN（全球区域网络）：它也被称为使用卫星连接全球的互联网。互联网也称为广域网网络。

Question 3. Explain LAN (Local Area Network)

LANs are widely used to connect computers/laptops and consumer electronics which enables them to share resources (e.g., printers, fax machines) and exchange information. When LANs are used by companies or organizations, they are called enterprise networks. There are two different types of LAN networks i.e. wireless LAN (no wires involved achieved using Wi-Fi) and wired LAN (achieved using LAN cable). Wireless LANs are very popular these days for places where installing wire is difficult. The below diagrams explain both wireless and wired LAN.

3.解释LAN（局域网）

LAN 广泛用于连接计算机/笔记本电脑和消费电子产品，使它们能够共享资源（例如，打印机、传真机）和交换信息。当公司或组织使用 LAN 时，它们被称为企业网络。有两种不同类型的 LAN 网络，即无线 LAN（使用 Wi-Fi 实现不涉及电线）和有线 LAN（使用 LAN 电缆实现）。如今，无线 LAN 在难以安装电线的地方非常流行。下图解释了无线和有线 LAN。

Question 4. Tell me something about VPN (Virtual Private Network)

VPN or the Virtual Private Network is a private WAN (Wide Area Network) built on the internet. It allows the creation of a secured tunnel (protected network) between different networks using the internet (public network). By using the VPN, a client can connect to the organization’s network remotely. The below diagram shows an organizational WAN network over Australia created using VPN:

4.告诉我一些关于VPN（虚拟专用网络）的事情

VPN 或虚拟专用网络是建立在互联网上的专用 WAN（广域网）。它允许使用互联网（公共网络）在不同网络之间创建安全隧道（受保护网络）。通过使用 VPN，客户端可以远程连接到组织的网络。下图显示了使用 VPN 在澳大利亚创建的组织 WAN 网络：

Question 5. What are the advantages of using a VPN?

Question 10. What is an IPv4 address? What are the different classes of IPv4?

An IP address is a 32-bit dynamic address of a node in the network. An IPv4 address has 4 octets of 8-bit each with each number with a value up to 255.

IPv4 classes are differentiated based on the number of hosts it supports on the network. There are five types of IPv4 classes and are based on the first octet of IP addresses which are classified as Class A, B, C, D, or E.

• Class A from 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255, used for large network
• Class B from 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255, used for medium size network
• Class C from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255, used for local area network
• Class D from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, reserved for multicasting
• Class E from 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255, study and R&D

10. 什么是 IPv4 地址？IPv4有哪些不同的类别？

IP 地址是网络中节点的 32 位动态地址。IPv4 地址有 4 个 8 位八位字节，每个数字的值最大为 255。

IPv4 类根据它在网络上支持的主机数量来区分。IPv4 有五种类型，基于 IP 地址的第一个八位组，分为 A、B、C、D 或 E 类。

Question 11. What are Private and Special IP addresses?

Private Address: For each class, there are specific IPs that are reserved specifically for private use only. This IP address cannot be used for devices on the Internet as they are non-routable.

Special Address: IP Range from 127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.255 are network testing addresses also known as loopback addresses are the special IP address.

11. 什么是专用 IP 地址和特殊 IP 地址？

**私有地址：**对于每个类，都有专门为私人使用而保留的特定 IP。此 IP 地址不能用于 Internet 上的设备，因为它们是不可路由的。

**特殊地址：**从 127.0.0.1 到 127.255.255.255 的 IP 范围是网络测试地址，也称为环回地址，是特殊 IP 地址。
