Abstract
An attempt is made to define a metropolitan area network (MAN) from a practical
point of view, and the advantages and disadvantages of a public MAN and a private
MAN are compared. Some discussion on the MAN's goals, strategies, technologies,

exchanges to a universal, ATM-based B-ISDN is outlined
