WAN Basics

• A network that serves users across a broad geographic area• Often uses transmission devices provided by public carriers (Pacific Bell, AT&T, etc.) • This service is commonly referred to as

“plain old telephone service” (POTS)•WANs function at the lower three layers of the OSI reference model• Physical layer, data link layer, and network

layer

What is a WAN?

A WAN is a data communications network that covers a relatively broad geographic area and often uses transmission facilities provided by common carriers, such as telephone companies. WAN technologies function at the lower three layers of the OSI reference model: the physical layer, the data link layer, and the network layer.

WAN connection types

• Point-to-Point Links or Leased Lines• Circuit Switching• Packet Switching

Point-to-Point Links or Leased Lines

• A point-to-point link is also known as a leased line because its established path is permanent and fixed for each remote network reached through the carrier facilities.

Leased Line

• One connection per physical interface• Bandwidth: depends on interface type• Cost effective at 4–6 hours daily usage• Dedicated connections with predictable throughput• Permanent• Cost varies by distance

• Dedicated physical circuit established, maintained, and terminated through a carrier network for each communication session• Datagram and data stream transmissions• Operates like a normal telephone call• Example: ISDN

WANModem Modem

Circuit Switching

•Sets up line like a phone call. No data can transfer before the end-to-end connection is established.

•Uses dial-up modems and ISDN. It is used for low-bandwidth data transfers.

Circuit Switching

POTS Using Modem Dialup

• Widely available• Easy to set up• Dial on demand• Asynchronous transmission• Low cost, usage-based• Lower bandwidth access requirements

ISDN

• Network devices share a point-to-point link to transport packets from a source to a destination across a carrier network• Statistical multiplexing is used to enable devices to share

these circuits• Examples: ATM, Frame Relay, X.25

Multiplexing Demultiplexing

Packet Switching

•WAN switching method that allows you to sharebandwidth with other companies to save money.

•Think of packet switching networks as a party line. As long as you are not constantly transmit-ting data and are instead using bursty data transfers, packet switching can save you a lot of money. However, if you have constant data transfers,then you will need to get a leased line.

• Frame Relay and X.25 are packet-switching technologies. Speeds can range from 56Kbps to 2.048Mbps.

Packet Switching

Frame Relay

• Permanent, not dialup• Multiple connections per

physical interface (permanent virtual circuits)

• Efficient handling of bursty (peak performance period) data

• Guaranteed bandwidth (typical speeds are 56/64 Kbps, 256 Kbps, and 1.544 Mbps)—committed information rate (CIR)

• Cost varies greatly by region

Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC)

X.25

• Very robust protocol for low-quality lines• Packet-switched• Bandwidth: 9.6 kbps–64 kbps• Well-established technology;

large installed base• Worldwide availability

X.25DCE

DTE DTEDCE

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

• Technology capable of transferring voice, video, and data through private and public networks

• Uses VLSI technology to segment data, at high speeds, into units called cells• 5 bytes of header information• 48 bytes of payload• 53 bytes total

• Cells contain identifiers that specify the data stream to which they belong

• Primarily used in enterprise backbones or WAN links
