What is WAN?
A WAN, or Wide Area Network, is a network that spans a large geographic area, often connecting multiple LANs across cities, countries, or continents. The Internet itself is the largest example of a WAN. Organizations use WANs to connect their branch offices and data centers, often leasing connections from telecommunications providers.
