Types of Networks

1. Local Area Network (LAN) – Covers a small geographic area, such as an office, school, or home.
2. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) – Covers a larger area than LAN, such as a city or metropolitan region.
3. Wide Area Network (WAN) – Covers very large geographic areas, often connecting multiple LANs across countries or continents (e.g., the Internet).
4. Campus Area Network (CAN) – Connects multiple LANs within a limited geographic area such as a university campus or corporate complex.
5. Personal Area Network (PAN) – A small network centered around a single person, typically using wireless technologies such as Bluetooth.
