Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wide area network (WAN) covers a large geographical area, such as an entire city, country, or even the world. This is in contrast to a local area network (LAN), which covers a smaller area, such as a single building, and a metropolitan area network (MAN), which covers a larger area than a LAN but smaller than a WAN. An intranet and peer-to-peer network refer to specific types of network architectures, and do not necessarily imply a large geographical coverage.
