This is not a Cisco Certification question, but I couldn't find another forum to post this to. If anyone can point me to a more appropriate forum, please do so.
I work at an educational institution that is physically located on 100 acres, with several buildings connected via various means. One building, 1/2 mile away on the south end of campus connects to the data center via outdoor wireless. Another building is connected via copper in the ground at T1 speed, another building connected via 64KB line, and another building, about 400' from the Data Center is connected via outdoor wireless.
Do I have a LAN, a WAN, or a CAN? What determines which one I have, the line speeds, the number of users, or the physical distance?
