There is no strict definition for a LAN.
One can say that a LAN is up to the border of a level 2 network, which is a router but today we have wide level 2 networks which are not LAN's...
So a LAN streches in some bildings and conects no more than 100-150 end-devices. That is my definition.
LAN stands for Local Area Network & WAN stands for Wide Area Network.
Wide area networks can consist of many local area networks, but it is possible for a wide area network to be a single network.

Local area network, Metor area network, Wide area network
LAN = Local Area Network (this is local, in your own computer network) WAN = Wide Area Network (this is wide, most of the time this means the internet)
1. How might a distributed database designed for a local area network differ from one designed for a wide area network?
LAN<local area network> , WAN<wide area network> , MAN <metropolitan area network>, Backbone network.
LAN, WAN, MAN, And Local Area Connections.
LAN - Local Area Network MAN - METROPOLITAN area network WAN - Wide Area Network
Local Area Network and Wide Area Network.
LAN is the Local Area Network while the WAN is the Wide Area Network.
GWAN = Gigabit WAN WAN = Wide Area Network LAN = Local Area Network WLAN = Wireless Local Area Network MAN = Metropolitan Area Network
