NETWORK TYPES

• LAN - Local Area Network


• MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
• WAN - Wide Area Network
LAN

• A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices


connected together in one physical location, such as a
building, office, or home. A LAN can be small or large,
ranging from a home network with one user to an enterprise
network with thousands of users and devices in an office or
school.
LAN
MAN
• A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network that connects computers

within a metropolitan area, which could be a single large city, multiple cities and

towns, or any given large area with multiple buildings. A MAN is larger than a

local area network (LAN) but smaller than a wide area network (WAN). MANs do not

have to be in urban areas; the term "metropolitan" implies the size of the network, not

the demographics of the area that it serves.


MAN
WAN

• A wide-area network (WAN) is the technology that connects your


offices, data centers, cloud applications, and cloud storage together. It is
called a wide-area network because it spans beyond a single building or
large campus to include multiple locations spread across a specific
geographic area, or even the world.
