  2. Computer network diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_diagram

    In addition, when the scope of a diagram crosses the common LAN/MAN/WAN boundaries, representative hypothetical devices may be depicted instead of showing all actually existing nodes. For example, if a network appliance is intended to be connected through the Internet to many end-user mobile devices, only a single such device may be depicted ...

  3. Metropolitan area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_area_network

    A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic region of the size of a metropolitan area.The term MAN is applied to the interconnection of local area networks (LANs) in a city into a single larger network which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network.

    Also shown in this example (shaded in yellow) is the network's connection to the Internet via fixed-line means. A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, campus, or building, [1] [2] [3] and has its network equipment and interconnects locally managed. LANs facilitate ...

  5. Wide area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_network

    The textbook definition of a WAN is a computer network spanning regions, countries, or even the world. [3] [4] However, in terms of the application of communication protocols and concepts, it may be best to view WANs as computer networking technologies used to transmit data over long distances, and between different networks.

  6. Computer network - Wikipedia

    Computer networks enhance how users communicate with each other by using various electronic methods like email, instant messaging, online chat, voice and video calls, and video conferencing. Networks also enable the sharing of computing resources. For example, a user can print a document on a shared printer or use shared storage devices.

  7. Internet area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_area_network

    Unlike IAN, LAN interconnects computers in a limited area, such as a home, a school, a computer laboratory, or an office building. The WAN also differs from the IAN because it is a network that covers a broad area, such as any telecommunications network that links across metropolitan , regional, or national boundaries, using private or public ...

  8. Personal area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_area_network

    A cell phone connected to a laptop using the USB interface, letting them communicate with each other, is a simple example of a wired personal area network (PAN) Wired personal area networks provide short connections between peripherals. Example technologies include USB, IEEE 1394 and Thunderbolt. [citation needed]
