LAN
Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively
small area sharing common resources. Most LANs are confined
to a single building or group of buildings.
N
NAT
Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, that
makes many different IP addresses on an internal network
appear to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages
properly within your network, each device requires a unique IP
address. But the addresses may not be valid outside your
network. NAT solves the problem. When devices within your
network request information from the Internet, the requests are
forwarded to the Internet under the router's IP address. NAT
distributes the responses to the proper IP addresses within your
network.

NWay Protocol
