Advantages of Tree topology: It is most suitable for large networks. Failure of any node does not affect network communication. It is Flexible network because new node can be added easily without interrupting whole network. Large community for support. It provide highly secured network. Disadvantages of Tree topology: It depends upon central cable (backbone), which …

Advantage of bus topology: It is very simple to design and install. less caballing is required as compared to other topologies. Best suited for small network (LAN). Very cost effective. easily expandable Disadvantages of bus topology: Not suitable for large network. If cable (backbone) is failed, entire network goes down. though its design is simple, …

Yes we can term PAN as LAN because of following reasons: both are set for small area or under a roof both are set as private often both can use Wi-Fi technology for data transmission
LAN WAN Area covered by LAN is around 10km radius WAN can cover entire country or globe Transmission speed is high in LAN Transmission speed is low in WAN LAN setup is comparatively less expensive Wan set is expensive It uses Ethernet, Wifi technology for communication It uses optical fiber, satellite technology for communication LAN …

A gateway is a node considered as the entrance point to other networks, so that different networks can communicate with each other. It connects different network follows different protocols and different properties. Gateway can be any software, hardware or combination of both. Gateway can acts as a proxy server or firewall.
It is a networking device that forward data packets from source to destination machine over the network by using shortest path. It has advanced capabilities as it can analyze the data being carried over a network, decide or alter how it is packaged, and send it to another network of a different type.
A switch is a hardware networking device that connects multiple nodes, receives information from all nodes and sends it only to the selected node. A switch can analyse and receives data and send it to intended node. And hence also known as Intelligent Hub.
