1. Local area networks: Local area networks (LANs) are often used by companies to connect the computers in a single area or building. Local area networks are typically connected to a server (or servers) located in the same building.

2. Metropolitan area networks: Metropolitan area networks (MANs) are used to connect computers on a university campus or local government agencies housed in separate buildings within the same general area. These networks are typically wired with ethernet or telephone connections.

3. Wide area networks: Wide area networks (WANs) connect computers that are separated by a large geographical space such as individual hospitals owned by the same company. Wide area networks are typically connected via a virtual private network (VPN).
