Types of Networks

One way to categorize the different types of computer network designs is by their scope or scale. For historical reasons, the networking industry refers to nearly every type of design as some kind of area network. Common types of area networks are:
  • LAN - Local Area Network
  • WAN - Wide Area Network
  • WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network
  • MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
  • SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area Network
  • CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area Network
  • PAN - Personal Area Network
LAN , MAN and WAN are the three primary and best-known categories of area networks, while the others have emerged with technology advances
