local area network
LAN

    (LAN) A data communications network which is
   geographically limited (typically to a 1 km radius) allowing
   easy interconnection of terminals, microprocessors 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.
