Game dev in training.
Ready to deploy approximately Q1 2012.

The word itself is "Local Area Network"

Usually, it consists of several computers linked together on a router.

LAN stands for Local Area Network. Pretty much, if you hook up a bunch of game consoles together to play the same game (without xbox or windows live) then you are having a LAN party or game. With halo, you can have four xboxs hooked up together with ethernet cords and play the same game with up to 16 players in the same room.
