    Campus  Area  Network  (CAN): CAN (also known as Cluster  Area Network) connects
                         multiple buildings or facilities within a specific area, such as a university campus, corporate
                         office  campus  or industrial  complex.  It  provides  high-speed  connectivity  for inter-building
                         communication and resource sharing.

                           ▶   A Network Interface Card is attached to a computer to enable communication over
                              a network.
                           ▶  Network protocol defines how data is transmitted and received between devices
                              connected to a network.

                      ON THE BASIS OF ARCHITECTURE
                      Network architecture refers to the design and layout of a computer network. It outlines the
                      structure and organisation of various components, including hardware, software, protocols
                      and services, which work together to enable communication and resource sharing within
                      the network. There are two main types of network architectures: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network and
                      Client-Server Network.

                      Peer-to-Peer Network

                      A  Peer-to-Peer  network is a network in which all  the
                      computers  or devices  are linked  together  with  equal
                      privileges and responsibilities for processing data. A Peer-
                      to-Peer network has no dedicated server. Each device can act as both a client and a server.
