What is MAN?
Rating:
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) represents a network that connects two or more LANs in the same geographic area. A network connecting two different buildings or offices in the same city is an example of a MAN. The LANs involved in a MAN are connected to one another through high-speed connections such as T1, SONET, SDH, etc. A MAN is a hybrid of a LAN and a WAN. A WAN provides low to medium speed access, whereas a MAN provides high-speed access.
