LAN stands for “Local Area Network” in networking. It refers to a network of interconnected computers and devices within a limited geographic area, such as a home, office, or campus. LANs are used to facilitate the sharing of resources, such as files, printers, and internet connections, as well as communication between devices on the same network. LANs are typically characterized by their relatively small geographical size and high data transfer speeds. They are commonly built using Ethernet cables, Wi-Fi (wireless LAN), or a combination of both, and they are a fundamental component of most modern computer networks.
