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.

WAN with X.25

• X.25 provides a low bit rate, shared-variable capacity that may either be switched or permanent

Frame Relay

• Most Frame Relay connections are based on PVCs rather than SVCs.

• It implements no error or flow control. This leads to reduced latency.

• Frame Relay provides permanent shared medium bandwidth connectivity that carries both voice and data traffic.

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.

DSL

• DSL uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to transport high-bandwidth data

• DSL service is considered broadband, as it uses multiple frequencies within the same physical medium to transmit data

ADSL Technology

Splitter

• The local loop connects the splitter to the DSLAM• DSLAM connected to ISP using ATM technology• Voice and data use separate frequency ranges

(voice 0-4Khz, data 20Khx – 1Mhz)

Cable Modem

• Enhanced Cable Modems enable two-way. High speed data transmissions using the same coaxial lines that transmit cable television.

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.

Advantages of the Hierarchical Approach

• Scalability: networks can grow without sacrificing control or manageability

• Ease of Implementation: clear functionality at each layer

• Ease of troubleshooting: Isolation of problems in the network is easier

• Predicatability network modelling and caapacity plannng easier

• Protocol Support: mixing current and future applications and protocols is easier

• Manageability: all the above improve the manageability of the network

Using the Internet as an Enterprise WAN

• Enterprise WANs will have connections to the Internet.

• This poses security problems but also provides an alternative for inter-branch traffic.

• VPN technologies can solve security issues
