Question
Among LAN, MAN, and WAN, which has the highest speed, and which one can cover the largest area?
Answer in Brief
Solution
- LAN (Local Area Network) has the highest speed among LAN, MAN, and WAN. This is because LANs are typically confined to a small geographic area like a single building or campus, allowing for faster data transfer rates.
- WAN (Wide Area Network) can cover the largest area among LAN, MAN, and WAN. WANs can span large geographic areas, including cities, countries, and even continents.
