Yes; LAN is only a Local Area Network.
absolutely wan. lan is used for a office or a building complex
Yes. LAN Stands for Local Area Network, which is a small group of computers. WWW stands for the world wide web, which infers a very large network of computers.
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 - local area networkWAN - wide area network
A Wide Area Network is a connection between two or more network LAN segments that are a distance apart, usually too far apart to be connected as just 1 LAN. They may connect networks in different cities, countries, etc., over a wide distance. Where are they found? All over the world, wherever the connections on a wide distance are required.
Wide area networking is also referred to just WAN and means a network that is not limited to a local area, local area network (LAN). The world wide WEB is the biggest WAN of all. An home would use a LAN. A typical office building would use a LAN. If you interconnect several LANs across a wide geographical range you end up with a WAN. Make sense?
WAN. LAN is a short range connection, WAN is wide range.

LAN stands for Local Area Network & WAN stands for Wide Area Network.

Data transfer on LAN is much faster than on WAN.Thus replication and fragmentation will not increase throughput and speed-up on a LAN, as much as in a WAN. But even in a LAN, replication has its uses in increasing reliability and availability.
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)
