 WAN Terminology

POP: Point of Presence : point that subscriber

connect to provider.

Backhaul network : connection between core

and subnetwork.

Backbone network : large, high capacity

network used to interconnect and create
redundant.

TRADITIONAL WAN
CONNECTIVITY
Definition
A traditional WAN is a network that
connects geographically dispersed
locations using hardware components
and dedicated leased lines. It offers
security, reliability, and control, but
also has limitations such as cost,
complexity, and cloud support.
 Dedicated:
• Leased Line
Switched:
• Circuit-Switched
• Packet-Switched

•T-carrier - Used in North America, T-carrier provides T1 links supporting bandwidth up to 1.544
Mbps and T3 links supporting bandwidth up to 43.7 Mbps.
•E-carrier – Used in Europe, E-carrier provides E1 links supporting bandwidth up to 2.048 Mbps
and E3 links supporting bandwidth up to 34.368 Mbps.

Topology of Modern WAN
Important of It:
Dedicated broadband: Offers reliable internet
connection
Dark fiber: Refers to private optical fiber networks.

Packet-switched: Data transmission method.

Ethernet WAN MPLS: Ethernet-based WAN
connection with MPLS support.
Ethernet WAN (Wide Area Network) refers to the use
of Ethernet technology to connect and transmit data
between different locations over a wide geographical
area.
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching): Enable sites to connect to a provider using
various access technologies.
Internet-Based
Connectivity
•Wired options use permanent cabling (e.g., copper or
fiber) to provide consistent bandwidth, and reduce error
rates and latency.

•Wireless options are less expensive to implement

compared to other WAN connectivity options because
they use radio waves instead of wired media to transmit
data.
 DSL Technology

Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) or Symmetric DSL (SDSL)

DSL Connections:
Optical Fiber
• Fiber to the Home (FTTH)
• Fiber to the Building (FTTB)
• Fiber to the
Node/Neighborhood (FTTN)
Wireless Internet-

•Municipal Wi-Fi
•Cellular
•Satellite Internet
•WiMAX
VPN
Technology
•The following are several benefits to using
VPN:
• Cost savings
• Security
• Scalability
• Compatibility with broadband
technology
•VPNs are commonly implemented as the
following:
• Site-to-site VPN
• Remote Access
ISP
Dual-homed

Single-homed

Options

CONCLUSION
WAN serves as a bridge between local area networks
(LANs), allowing them to communicate with each other
across vast geographic areas
People prefer to use modern WAN as to traditional WAN
because they are either no longer available, too expensive,
or have limited bandwidth.

WANs play a crucial role in today’s interconnected world.
