A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a type of network that spans over an
area
larger than a building. MANs are common at
universities
and other places where the
network
is too big to be considered as a
Local
Area Network
. MANs were originally meant to span a
city
(which is the reason for its name), but large companies and universities also use this definition of their network, due to its size.
A MAN is commonly used for connecting
LAN
s (i.e. connect the LANs of each building in a campus). These MANs frequently use
optical fibre
s, and when used in a city, running cables through
subway-tunnel
s is a popular solution.
NOTE: A MAN is
not
the same as a
WAN
!
