What is the Full Form of MAN?
The full form of MAN is Metropolitan Area Network in Computer Networking. A MAN might be a single network like the cable television network or it usually interconnects a number of local area networks called LANs using a high capacity backbone technology, such as fiber-optical links and provides up-link services to a wide area network called WAN. MAN operates at speeds of 1.5Mbps to 10 Mbps and ranges from five miles to a few hundred miles in length. Examples of MANs (MAN full form: Metropolitan Area Network) are FDDI(Fiber Distribution Data Transfer) and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode).
What is MAN Full Form in Hindi?
एक मेट्रोपॉलिटन एरिया नेटवर्क (मैन) एक नेटवर्क है जो एक भौगोलिक क्षेत्र या एक बड़ा क्षेत्र जो लोकल एरिया नेटवर्क (लैन) से भी बड़ा लेकिन Wide Area Network (WAN) से छोटे क्षेत्र के यूजर्स को कंप्यूटर रिसोर्सेस के साथ इंटरकनेक्ट करता हैं।
एक बड़ा कंप्यूटर नेटवर्क जो शहर या बड़े विश्वविद्यालय परिसर में फैला हुआ है उसे Metropolitan Area Network या MAN कहा जाता है। MAN (मेट्रोपॉलिटन एरिया नेटवर्क) का उद्देश्य लंबे समय तक इंटरनेट को लिंक प्रदान करना है। एक MAN (मेट्रोपॉलिटन एरिया नेटवर्क) में आमतौर पर नेटवर्क बनाने के लिए कई LAN शामिल हो सकते है। इस बड़े नेटवर्क MAN (मेट्रोपॉलिटन एरिया नेटवर्क) में अब ऑप्टिकल फाइबर सेट-अप होता है।
Advantages of MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
MAN is better than LAN in terms of area network coverage and lies in between LAN and WAN. Let us discuss the advantages of the MAN in detail. Following are the advantages:
- It offers fast communication using high-speed carriers, like fibre optic cables.
- It provides excellent support for an extensive size network and greater access to WANs.
- The dual bus in the MAN network provides support to transmit data in both directions concurrently.
- A MAN network mostly includes some areas of a city or an entire city.
Disadvantages of MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
Having discussed the advantages, how can we miss the cons of the same. Every network design has its own pros and cons. We know how beautifully it covers the entire city and maintains network connectivity. Now let us see its disadvantages. Following are the disadvantages:
- You need more cable to establish a MAN connection from one place to another.
- In the MAN network, it is tough to make the system secure from hackers.
