network are:

LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close distance to one another. They are usually in the same office space, room, or building.

WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different geographic locations and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves.

NWay Protocol A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission speed between two devices.

P

PCM	PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a technique for converting
	analog audio signals into digital form for transmission.
PING	Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether
	a specific IP address is accessible. It functions by sending a
	packet to the specified address and waits for a reply. It is
	primarily used to troubleshoot Internet connections.
PPPoE	Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a
	specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the
	Internet through a common broadband medium, such as
	DSL or cable modem. All the users over the Ethernet share a
	common connection.
Protocol	Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules
	called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices
	use to communicate with each other, and thus they have
	different functions. Some protocols are responsible for
	formatting and presenting and presenting data that will be
	transferred from file server memory to the file server’s net
	work adapter Others are responsible for filtering
	information between networks and forwarding data to its
	destination. Still other protocols dictate how data is
	transferred across the medium, and how servers respond to
	workstation requests and vice versa. Common network
	protocols responsible for the presentation and formatting of
	data for a network operating system are the Internetwork
	Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP).
