“metropolitan area network”的概念、定义、翻译、参考文献-科学参考

metropolitan area network

Computer

A network intermediate between a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN); the term was originally used to refer to a network serving a single town or district. There are no formal rules to determine whether a given network should be classified as a LAN, MAN, or WAN, and the differences lie as much in their style of organization as in their technology or geographical or physical size.
A MAN may either be operated as a joint activity by a number of separate organizations, which may set up a jointly owned enterprise to operate the MAN, or it may be operated by a company that specializes in the operation of networks and acts as a managing agent on behalf of the organizations that require the MAN. The MAN interconnects the LANs of the organizations that operate the MAN, but may also provide immediate connection to the MAN for organizations that do not operate their own internal LAN.

Internet

A metropolitan area network, often abbreviated to MAN, is a network that serves a metropolitan area such as a city or a town, although it is not restricted to such environments. For example, the term has been used to describe a network connecting several local universities and colleges.

Electronics and Electrical Engineering

A computer network geographically larger than a local area network (LAN) and smaller than a wide area network (WAN). A MAN might typically cover the area of a university campus or a large industrial site.
