Networks and WWW

A network is a set of devices that communicate with one another. It can be small, just 2 devices, or larger, with billions of devices. There are different types of networks, 11 to be specific, and they’re cataloged by the “function” (who uses it) of the network and/or the size (where).
These are:

1. Personal Area Network (PAN)
2. Local Area Network (LAN)
3. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
4. Campus Area Network (CAN)
5. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
6. Wide Area Network (WAN)
7. Storage-Area Network (SAN)
8. System-Area Network (Also SAN)
9. Passive Optical Local Area Network (POLAN)
10. Enterprise Private Network (EPN)
11. Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Now, the World Wide Web consist of all the pages you can get into using a web browser, and it’s not the same as internet, because internet is a big network, the WWW isn’t.
