    - LAN (Local Area Network) is located within a building or campus. It is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area.

    - WAN (Wide Area Network) extends over a large geographical distance. Business, education and government entities use wide area networks for transferring the data among students, clients, buyers from various geographical locations.

    - VAN (Virtual Area Network) acts as an intermediary between business partners that share their proprietary data via business processes. VAN is also known as Value-added network.

    - MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) is a computer network larger than a local area network.
