Ans : Metropolitan Area Network is defined for less than 50 km. and provides regional
connectivity typically within small geographical area. It is designed to extend over an
entire city. It may be a single network such as cable television, network, or it may be a
means of connecting a number of LANs into a large network, so that resources may be
shared LAN to LAN as well as device to device. For example, a company can use a
MAN to connect to the LANs in all of its offices throughout a city.
