7-2 Orientation • Single Networks – Layers 1 and 2 (so OSI standards dominate) – Chapters 4-7: Local to long-distance for single networks • Chapter 4: Wired Ethernet LANs • Chapter 5: Wireless LANs (WLANs) • Chapter 6: Telecommunications (and Internet Access) • Chapter 7: Wide Area Networks (WANs) • Chapter 8: TCP/IP Internetworking – To link multiple single networks
/ WAN Concepts Wide Area Networks(WANs) Single networks that connect different sites So Layer 1 and Layer 2 operation WAN Purposes Internet access( Chapter 6) Link sites within the same corporation Provide remote access individuals who are off site 1.Point-to-point Leased Line Network 2. Public Switched Data Networks(PSDNs 7-3
7-3 WAN Concepts • Wide Area Networks (WANs) – Single networks that connect different sites – So Layer 1 and Layer 2 operation • WAN Purposes – Internet access (Chapter 6) – Link sites within the same corporation – Provide remote access to individuals who are off site 1.Point-to-point Leased Line Network 2.Public Switched Data Networks (PSDNs)

Leased Lines: Recap Leased line characteristics Point-to-point circuits Always on High speeds: 64 kbps (rare) to several gigabits per second Leased for a minimum period of time Usually offered by telephone companies
7-7 Leased Lines: Recap • Leased Line Characteristics – Point-to-point circuits – Always on – High speeds: 64 kbps (rare) to several gigabits per second – Leased for a minimum period of time – Usually offered by telephone companies
