Wand, Lans, and Mans:-
Some other terms that you will hear often are LAN, WAN, and MAN. A local area network (LAN) typically I'd confined to a single building, such as on office building, your name network, or a college campus. A wide area network (WAN) spans multiple geographic location and is typically made up of multiple LANs. For example, I have a company with an office in Halifax, Nova Scotia(that's a city in Canada next door to the penguins) that has 100 computers all connected together. This would be considered a LAN. Now if we expand the company and create an office in Toronto, the network in Toronto also would be considered a LAN. If we want allow the two offices to share together, creating a WAN.
The term metropolitan area network (MAN) is not used often anymore; it refers to a network that exists within a single city or metropolitan area. If we had two different buildings within a city that were connected together, it would be considered a MAN.
