Protocol Protocols are set of rules that governs how data is sent from
one point to another.
Local Area Network (LAN) A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and
that share a common communications line or wireless link
and typically share the resources of a single processor or
server within a small geographic area (for example, within
an office building).
Wide Area Network (WAN) This usually refers to a network which covers a large
geographical area, and use communications circuits to
connect the intermediate nodes.
Metropolitan Area Network A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that
interconnects users with computer resources in a
geographic area or region larger than that covered by even
a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area
covered by a wide area network (WAN).
