Your definitions are wrong.This is what a network student shouldn't say bro.
A Network is 2 or more devices connected together to share data/information.
Does not matter simplex,half duplex or full duplex.
Then there are network types categorized or divided according to their size,geographic area ......
# LAN/MAN/WAN
#OS based/Device based
#software based/Hardware based
The devices(nodes) are not meant to be computers at all.They could be IP phones,network printers,KVM switches etc.

I had a huge debate for the definition of LAN and I came up right.My professor too agreed for this definition of LAN.
LAN is connecting 2 or more devices in a single network.

So a router separates a LAN for its own.
Say you got a direct satellite link to your own office from home.(People have)
Its a LAN.you would call it a LAN.So the definition is a LAN is alwaysbehind a router.It creates LANs.
Please continue.I'll support you where I can.
First bulid the theories right and straight.It takes like hours to understand so simplify and add them.
OSI is the way you should go.
