What is the difference between LAN, WAN, MAN, CAN, VPN, NAN, SAN?






In the area of networks there are some terms that should not be confused among them, it is very embarrassing if you are among people who have knowledge of the field and miss some words or technical terms, and I loved to take the torch and remove the fog from this and recognize the difference All LAN, WAN, MAN, CAN, VPN, NAN, SAN All you know about these appeals is that they end up with a letter N. Stay with me I will guarantee you a comprehensive benefit and you will come out with information that will benefit you.
 
LAN : Local Area Network



When we talk about LAN, a cable connection is simply connected to the Ethernet technology (IEEE 802.3). There is a so-called Switch, which is the Internet distribution function, and is generally located in offices and homes.
HAN: Home Area Network
Is a part of the LAN and another type of the latter, here when we talk about the connection of a set of devices such as: smart device, computer, TV, etc. with the router so that the latter located in a specific place in the home only.
WLAN: Wireless LAN
The WLAN can be said to be a peer or a replica exactly the LAN !! All that is added is the Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 and the WIFI and WLAN difference so as not to confuse things (another subject will be assigned to clarify other terms such as Switch, HUB, etc.)
PAN: Personal Area Network




It is clear from the name only, it is a personal network and communication is connected between a few devices and limited, and this connection is often based on Bluetooth.

CAN: Campus Area Network


This network is adopted between schools and universities so that there is internet and is linked to a certain number of schools and universities simply.

MAN: Metropolitan Area Network

This type of network does not compare not with LAN and not with CAN. It is larger than the previous terminology, so when we talk about MAN it is a network that interconnects between all LANs in a particular city.

WAN: Wide Area Networ



WAN is everything 😂 will tell me how I did not understand? Simply put, when we say WAN, we talk about the Internet in general in ADSL, 4G, Fiber Optic, Cable, etc. All of this is in one reformer, WAN.
SAN: Storage Area Network
A network through which a connection is connected to external memory means that the memory of the latter is connected to a server and you can control it remotely.
NAN: Near-me Network
You may have your friend with you in the same room and talk to him day and night via Facebook for example, even if not connected to the same network as you are connected to it, it enters the network NAN so that it was a simple definition and fast on the type of NAN of networks.
VPN: Virtual Private Network
The VPN is simply a virtual computer that does not exist on the ground. A connection is connected between your device and it is useful to open a set of prohibited sites in your country (if this) thanks to the possibility of traveling around the world according to the servers it gives you.
