Figure 7-1: Wide Area Networks WANS) WANs are characterized by high cost and low Speeds High cost per bit transmitted compared to LaNs Consequently, lower speeds(most commonly 128 kbps to a few megabits per second) This speed usually is aggregate throughput shared by many users Much slower than LAN speeds (100 Mbps to 1 Gbps to the desktop 7-5
7-5 Figure 7-1: Wide Area Networks (WANs) • WANs are Characterized by High Cost and Low Speeds – High cost per bit transmitted compared to LANs – Consequently, lower speeds (most commonly 128 kbps to a few megabits per second) • This speed usually is aggregate throughput shared by many users – Much slower than LAN speeds (100 Mbps to 1 Gbps to the desktop)
Figure 7-1: Wide Area Networks WANS) Carriers Beyond their physical premises, companies must use the services of regulated carriers for transmission Companies do not have rights of way to lay wires beyond their premises Customers are limited to whatever services the carriers provide Prices for carrier services change abruptly and without technological reasons Prices and service availability vary widely from country to country 7-6
