A metropolitan-area Ethernet, Ethernet MAN, carrier Ethernet [1] or metro Ethernet network is a metropolitan area network (MAN) that is based on Ethernet standards. It is commonly used to connect subscribers to a larger service network or for internet access. Businesses can also use metropolitan-area Ethernet to connect their own offices to ...
A router is configured with the provider's IP address on the WAN interface, which is shared among all devices in the LAN by network address translation. A gateway establishes physical and data link layer connectivity to a WAN over a service provider's native telecommunications infrastructure.
A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network for interconnecting electronic devices within an individual person's workspace. [1] A PAN provides data transmission among devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets and personal digital assistants.
