Sarthak Srivastava's class discusses four types of computer networks: local area networks (LANs) which connect buildings near each other, metropolitan area networks (MANs) which connect an entire city, wide area networks (WANs) which connect locations in different cities or countries like the internet, and campus area networks (CANs) which connect local networks within a university.

Types of network
- 1. NAME- Sarthak Srivastava CLASS- VIII A
- 2. Four types of network: 1. Land Area Network (LAN) 2. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) 3. Wide Area Network (WAN) 4. Campus Area Network (CAN)
- 3. The LAN are confined to a single building or group of buildings. However, LANs can be connected to each other over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves.
- 5. A WAN is a computer network that is spread over a large geographical area in two different cities or countries. Typically, a WAN consists of two or more LANs connected through the telephone system or can also be connected through leased lines or satellites. Remember! The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.
- 7. A MAN is a network which connects an area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, such as a city, with dedicated or high-performance hardware.
- 9. A CAN is a computer network made up of an interconnection of LANs with a limited geographical area. It can be considered one form of MAN but is limited to a smaller area than a typical MAN and specific to academic settings.
