Ordinarily, the network assets supporting a LAN belong to the organization using the LAN. For WANs, network assets of service providers are often used. LANs also generally support higher data rates than WANs. 14 15 Q:-Differentiate between WANs and LANs Ans:- Wide area networks (WANs) are used to connect stations over very large areas that may even be worldwide while local area networks (LANs) connect stations within a single building or cluster of buildings.
