WAN

Wide Area Network (WAN) is a computer network that covers a broad area

(i.e., any network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries ^[1]). Contrast with personal area networks (PANs), local area networks (LANs), campus area networks (CANs), or metropolitan area networks (MANs) which are usually limited to a room, building, campus or specific metropolitan area (e.g., a city) respectively. The largest and most well-known example of a WAN is the Internet.
