LAN (Local Area Network)
A general-purpose communications network that interconnects a variety of
devices within a limited geographical area. Two common LANs, IEEE 802.3 and
Ethernet, have compatible cabling requirements, and can co-exist on a common
installation, but have different protocols. A LAN might connect computers on
adjacent desks, within a building, or within several buildings of a campus. See
also extended LAN.
LANE (LAN Emulation)

Emulation Servers (LES), Broadcast/Unknown Servers (BUS), and LAN
Emulation Configuration Servers (LECS).
LAN cable
A short distance network (up to a few thousand meters) used to connect many
network devices using a communication standard. LAN cables come in many
types. For example, thick (10 mm) coaxial cable, thin (5 mm) coaxial cable, fiber-
optic cable, and twisted-pair cable.
