local area network
     
         (LAN) A data communications network which is
        geographically limited (typically to a 1 km radius) allowing
        easy interconnection of terminals, {microprocessor}s and
        computers within adjacent buildings.  {Ethernet} and {FDDI}
        are examples of standard LANs.
     
        Because the network is known to cover only a small area,
        optimisations can be made in the network signal protocols that
        permit data rates up to 100Mb/s.
     
        See also {token ring}, {wide area network}, {metropolitan area
        network}..
