WAN Wide Area Networks
Review: • Capacity Allocation: phone system • Bandwidth Allocation: data systems
Network WAN Access
WAN • Intercommunication over public networks • Typically slower and more expensive than backbone or LAN
Connections • Connection Oriented Circuits Have a mechanism to confirm delivery and assure that packets are processed in order • Circuits • Packet Assembly Devices • Non-Connection Oriented Circuits • Deliver packets individually without regard to message sequence
Wan Resources • Bandwidth • Access • Technology
Bandwidth Total transport capacity
North American Digital Hierarchy • T0 56 + 8 Kbps 64 Kbps • T1 1.544 Mbps 24xT0 • T2 6.312 Mbps 96xT0 • T3 44.736 Mbps 672xT0 • T4 274.176 Mbps 4032xT0

Technologies Common WAN technologies.
X.25 • Older protocol for using packet switched data • Operates up to 56.6 Kbps • Switched virtual circuit • PAD
TCP/IP • Best Effort • Addressing • IPv4 vs IPv6 • Frame and Header
OSI and TCP/IP OSI TCP/IP 7. Application 6. Presentation Process & Application 5. Session 4. Transport Host to host (TCP) 3. Network Internet (IP) 2. Data link Network access 1. Physical
Datagram Routing • Best effort • Error Control • Traffic Management
IP Addressing • 32 bits (4 bytes) • Network address + • Host address • Classes • A: 126 nets, 3 bytes of client addresses • B: 2 bytes of client addresses (e.g. OU) • C: 1 byte of client addresses (256)
Frame Relay • Frames relayed without reconstruction • End to end error control using CRC error detection at layer 3 level • Variable packet size • Virtual circuit (usually permanent) • Multiple data rates • Committed Data Rate • Peak data rate (discard eligible)
ATM Traffic Classes • Type 1 Constant Bit Rate • Type 2 Variable Bit Rate • Type 3 • Type 4 • Type 5 IP Traffic
SNA • Connection Oriented • Centrally Managed
WAN Costs • Circuit Charges • Committed Bandwidth • Peak Bandwidth • Discard Priority • Latency
