V🌳 Networking: The Network Hierarchy — From Personal to Global
Ever wondered how your earbuds and the entire internet fit into the same system? Here's the full hierarchy 👇
📱 PAN — Personal Area Network
Connects personal devices in a tiny range (usually Bluetooth). 🏠 LAN — Local Area Network
Covers a home or small office via cable or Wi-Fi. 🏙️ CAN & MAN — Campus / Metropolitan
Links multiple LANs across a campus or a whole city. 🌍 WAN — Wide Area Network
Connects countries using routers & satellites (yes — the internet!). 💾 SAN — Storage Area Network
A high-speed network built purely for large-scale data storage. 🔐 Why it matters: you can't secure what you don't understand. Every identity and access request travels across these networks. 💬 Which one do you work with most? Reply and let us know! 🌐 More learning: training.askmeidentity.com
