What type of topology is used to form a MAN or WAN?

Question

I'm reading about different types of network topologies used to form a LAN:

• Bus
• Ring
• Star
• Tree
• Line
• Mesh

Do they participate in MAN or WAN? Are there different methods to form a MAN or WAN?

Answer 1

I see no reason why a MAN or a WAN couldn't use any of those topologies or a mix of them.

These categories are not always distinct. This reminds me of token-ring networks, logically a ring, physically a star or tree.
