Topic summary

LAN (Local Area Network) refers to a small, localized network, such as those found in residential areas or office buildings, where multiple computers are interconnected. In contrast, WAN (Wide Area Network) encompasses larger networks that connect multiple LANs, such as the Internet. Additionally, there is a MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), which serves as an intermediary network size between LAN and WAN, typically covering a city or a large campus.
