19
Leased Line

• Leased lines are not only used to provide direct

point-to-point connections between Enterprise
LANS, they can also be used to connect
individual branches to a packet switched
network.
20
WAN with X.25

• X.25 provides a low bit rate,

shared-variable capacity that
may either be switched or
permanent
21
Frame Relay

• Most Frame Relay connections are based on

PVCs rather than SVCs. It implements no error or
flow control. Frame Relay provides permanent
shared medium bandwidth connectivity that
carries both voice and data traffic.

22
ATM
• Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a
technology capable of transferring voice, video,
and data through private and public networks. It
is built on a cell based architecture rather than
on a frame-based architecture.

23
DSL

24
ADSL Technology

25
 Cable Modem

• Enhanced Cable Modems enable two-

way. High speed data transmissions
using the same coaxial lines that
transmit cable television.

33
Three-Layer Design Model

• The links connecting the various sites in an

area that provide access to the enterprise
network are called the access links or
access layer of the WAN.
• Traffic between areas is distributed by the
distribution links, and is moved onto the
core links for transfer to other regions,
when necessary.
