Set of computers connected together form a network which can be categorized on different parameters such as scale and transmission technology. This paper provides information about different types of network on the basis of scale i.e. distance. Several categories of computer networks on the basis of scale are PAN, LAN, MAN, WAN, CAN, HAN, SAN, VPN, EPN, POLAN, GAN etc. This paper throws light on distinct types of Networks such as PAN, LAN, MAN, WAN, CAN. This paper provides overall comparison of the above mentioned area networks on the basis of speed, congestion, technology, bandwidth, communication medium etc.
