What is a MAN?
A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN).
A good example of a MAN would be when the Army Record Center on Goodfellow in St. Louis, MO. They was on both side of the street plus all over the backlot area. The WAN portion would be the Record center at both the Goodfellow Center and the page Center.
