What is a MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)?

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a computer network that spans a larger geographic area than a Local Area Network (LAN) but smaller than a Wide Area Network (WAN). It typically covers a city or a metropolitan area and connects multiple LANs together. MANs are used to provide high-speed connectivity and communication between different locations within a city or metropolitan area.
