Which of the following types of networks does NOT exist?

  1. PAN

  2. LAN

  3. MAN

  4. Overall Network

The correct answer is: Overall Network

The term "Overall Network" does not refer to a specific type of network in the context of networking terminology. In contrast, the other options are well-established categories within computer networking. Personal Area Network (PAN) is a small-scale network primarily used for connecting personal devices within close proximity, typically covering a range of a few meters. Local Area Network (LAN) connects computers and devices in a limited area such as a home, school, or office, allowing for resource sharing and communication. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) encompasses a larger geographical area than a LAN, often spanning a city, providing connectivity between multiple LANs. The concept of "Overall Network" lacks a defined structure or purpose within networking standards, making it an incorrect choice when identifying network types that are recognized and utilized in practice.
