- There are three types of network, which are LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) and MAN (Metropolitan Area Network).
- LAN covers a small region of space.
- MAN is a collection of LANs with the same geographical area.
- WAN is a collection of LANs or MANs or the mix of two with a very large geographical area.
- Setting up MAN is more expensive than LAN but less than WAN.
- LAN covers only a limited area, MAN covers a greater area, and WAN covers the largest geographical area.
- LAN offers the best speed, followed by MAN and WAN.
- LAN uses the cheapest transmission media.
