Local area network is a computer network whose network covers only a small area, such as campus computer networks, buildings, offices, in homes, schools or smaller. Today, most LAN technology based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet switch using the device, which has a data transfer speed 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit / s. In addition to Ethernet technology, the current 802.11b technology (or so-called Wi-Fi) is also often used to form the LAN. Places that provide LAN connectivity with Wi-Fi technology called hotspots.
On a LAN, each node or computer has its own computing power, in contrast to the concept of terminal dump. Each computer can also access resources on the LAN in accordance with the perm
issions that have been set. These resources can be data or devices such as printers. On a LAN, a user can also communicate with other users by using the appropriate application.

In contrast to Wide Area Networks or Wide Area Network (WAN), the LAN has the following characteristics:
- Having a higher data rapidly
- Includes a narrower geographical region
- Does not require telecommunications lines leased from telecom operators
Usually one of the computers on the network computer will be used to manage all servers in the network system.
