!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([MAN]) is a [network] that connects [Network devices] in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large [Local Area Network] ([LAN]) but smaller than the area covered by a [Wide Area Network] ([WAN]).
[{$pagename}] is optimized for a larger geographical area than is a [Local Area Network], ranging from several blocks of buildings to entire cities. As with [Local Area Network], [{$pagename}]s can also depend on [communications] [channels] of moderate-to-high [data] rates.
A MAN might be owned and operated by a single organization, but it usually will be used by many individuals and organizations. MANs might also be owned and operated as public utilities. They will often provide means for internetworking of [Local Area Networks].
[{$pagename}] was defined in [IEEE 802.6] but the [Working Group] is listed as "disbanded"
