WAN Technology Overview WANs connect LANs: it operates beyond the geographical scope of a LAN.
• Connects remote sites to the enterprise network.
• Connects home users to the Internet.
WAN is owned by a service provider.

WAN and OSI Model
WAN access standards typically describe both physical layer delivery methods and data link layer requirements, including:
• physical addressing• flow control• encapsulation.
Standards:
• TIA/EIA (former CCITT)• ISO• IEEE

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
Always-on connection technology that uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to transport high-bandwidth data, and provides IP services to subscribers.
A DSL modem converts an Ethernet signal from the user device to a DSL signal, which is transmitted to the central office.
