A LAN is a local area network, meaning it is confined to one place.
LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, school, or group of buildings.
it's high speed (1000 mbps)
A WAN is a wide area network that spans large areas or distances, such as the internet that goes everywhere.
WAN (Wide Area Network) is a computer network that covers a broad area (e.g., any network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries over a long distance).

why the lan high speed than wan
wan wireless right?
ATM protocol is a WAN technology
From the user's point of view, accessing a LAN or WAN is the same. If packets need to be forwarded from a LAN via a WAN connection that is taken care of automatically by the router.
