➠ metropolitan area network (MAN) is similar to a local area network (LAN) but spans an entire city or campus. MANs are formed by connecting multiple LANs. Thus, MANs are larger than LANs but smaller than wide area networks (WAN).
More points....
- It is a computer network covering large area.
- It is used as interconnection of several local area network.
- It has a high speed network and allow sharing of multiple resources.
WAN-
➠ wide area network is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area for the primary purpose of computer networking. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits.
More points...
- WAN connects LAN and MAN together
- It covers a large geographical area
- this network is located throughout a country or even around the world.
