LAN stands for Local Area Network. Basically, you can play with people on SWBF if they are connected to your internet.

In other words you don't have to be connected to the internet just someone elses computer. :)
I play less now but I'll always be around, lets keep this site and battlefront going. :)

Only if you have someone else with battlefront and a PC in your house. :)

The only problem with VLAN hosts is that they can be quite laggy at times.

LAN is mainly used for LAN parties, in which friends are invited round with Laptops/etc and everybody sets up in various rooms of the house, connect to the internet and play over the LAN.
I have no idea if people actually do them anymore, I haven't been to one for a long time.
