What is the transmission rate of Ethernet lans?
Ethernet LANs have transmission rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps For an X Mbps Ethernet (where X = 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000), a user can continuously transmit at the rate X Mbps if that user is the only person sending data. If there are more than one active user, then each user cannot continuously transmit at X Mbps.
WAN stands for?
If this is a computer related question; a WAN is a Wide Area Network. If you have 2 or more computers in your home or business and they are connected to each other you have a network. This is considered a local area network - LAN.If you have 2 of these groups of computers in separate locations they are each individual LANs. When you connect the separate LANs together either with dedicated phone lines (like T1) or through the internet using a 'private' (VPN is one type) connection they become a WAN.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AnswerWANs or Wide Area Network are usually setup in different geographical Locations with the help of certain hardwares such as Router,Gateway and Bridge.It uses communication switching technique like Circuit,Message and Packet switching to exchange data.It used certain services to switch data ( exchange of data between nodes) likePSTN,PSDN,VAS,ISDN or Private Network.
What connects two or more geographically distinct LANs or MANs?
Wide Area Network
What are computer lands?
You most likely mean "LANs". LAN stands for Local Area Network. A LAN establishes communication between two or more computers at a "location". A location could be a business or a home but is normally a single geographic location. The protocols in the LAN will be designed to allow the computers at the location to communicate, but basically ignore requests to communicate with other computers outside the 'location'. A counterpart to the LAN is the Wide Area Network or WAN. A wide area network will join two or more LANs together.

What are area codes in the us?
A U.S. area code is a three-digit numeric prefix for telephone numbers in a given geographic area. There are about 300 of them, including overlays. (In an overlay, two or more numeric area codes serve overlapping geographic zones.)
In which environments would a Metropolitan Area Network be most appropriate?
Any environment that contains two or more local area networks (LAN) that are geographically close to each other but need to interconnect with each other is an appropriate environment for a metropolitan area network (MAN). For example, an University campus may have several separate LANs that need to interconnect, and would be a suitable environment for a MAN. If the LANs are widely dispersed, then a wide area network (WAN) would be more suitable.

Which network is fast LAN or WAN?
lans are more faster than wans
Which device connect 2 LANs and control data flow between them?
A router or a Layer-3 switch can connect 2 or more LANs together and control data flow between them.
Is the largest WAN internet?
Largest existing WAN network is the internet. WAN is combinations of 2 or more that two LANs. This stands for Wide Area Network.
