LAN - Local Area Network

A local area network (LAN) is a COMPUTER NETWORK that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building using network media

Major local area network technologies are:
 ETHERNET
 TOKEN RING
 FDDI

Ethernet is by far the most commonly used LAN technology. A number of corporations use the Token Ring technology. FDDI is sometimes used as a BACKBONE LAN interconnecting Ethernet or Token Ring LANs. Another LAN technology, ARCNET, once the most commonly installed LAN technology, is still used in the industrial automation industry.
