This document discusses different types of computer networks: Personal area networks (PANs) connect devices around a single person, typically within a home. Local area networks (LANs) connect nodes within a short distance, such as within an office building. Metropolitan area networks (MANs) span a larger area like a city by connecting multiple LANs. Wide area networks (WANs) connect across long distances, either privately between locations of the same company or publicly via the internet.
