LAN-
LAN stands for Local Area Network.
LAN’s ownership is private.
The transmission speed of a LAN is high.
Network propagation delay is short in LAN.
There is less congestion in LAN.
LAN’s design and maintenance is easy.
There is more fault tolerance in LAN.
LAN is used for small ranges such as 1-5 km, in offices,
schools, small industries or cluster of buildings.
With a LAN, you can get higher speeds of data transfer
with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (high speed).
LAN can use any type of network topology which
meets the need of the network such as a ring or bus
for the interconnection of the host in LAN networks.
MAN-
MAN stand for Metropolitan Area Network.
MAN’s ownership can be private or public.
While the transmission speed of a MAN is average.
There is a moderate propagation delay in a MAN.
While there is more congestion in MAN.
While MAN’s design and maintenance is difficult than
LAN.
While there is less fault tolerance.
MAN is used for communication between large geographical
areas such as cities, districts. Private firms
use MAN networks for inter connectivity between their
offices.
With a MAN, you can get speeds of data transfer up to
100 Mbps.
MAN networks work on either ring or bus topology with
a protection link, thus data can be transmitted or received
simultaneously over nodes and if one link fails the other will
keep the network live.
WAN-
WAN stands for wide area network.
WAN’s ownership can be private or public.
Whereas the transmission speed of a WAN is low.
Whereas, there is a long propagation delay in a WAN.
There is more congestion than MAN in WAN.
Whereas WAN’s design and maintenance is also
difficult than LAN as well MAN.
While there is less fault tolerance.
WAN covers bigger areas ranging from 100 to several
1000 km, such as state to state or countries Military
operations, railway reservation, airlines use WAN
networks.
With a WAN, you can get lower speeds of data transfer
of 10-20 Mbps.
