WAN
A WAN is a data communications network that operates beyond
the geographic scope of a LAN.
WAN allows the transmission of data across greater geographic
distances
WANs use facilities provided by a service provider, or
carrier.
WANs use serial connections.
LAN connects computers, peripherals, and other devices in a single
building or other small geographic area

WAN functions in terms of the OSI Reference Model
The physical layer (OSI Layer 1) protocols describe how to provide
electrical, mechanical, operational, and functional connections to
the services of a communications service provider.

WAN physical-layer protocols describe how to provide electrical,
mechanical, operational, and functional connections for WAN
services.
The WAN physical layer also describes the interface between the DTE
and the DCE.

Key WAN Technology Concepts

Switching technologies used for WANs in an Enterprise setting
A circuit-switched network is one that establishes a dedicated
circuit (or channel) between nodes and terminals before the users
may communicate.
PSTN and ISDN are two types of circuit-switching technology that
may be used to implement a WAN in an enterprise setting.
Packet switching splits traffic data into packets that are routed
over a shared network. Packet-switching networks do not require a
circuit to be established, and they allow many pairs of nodes to
communicate over the same channel. Packets are divided and sent
through available connections.
*
Packet-switching for computers (SMS and email)
We can’t use packet-switching for telephone calls because it
divides packets
We can use circuit-switching for transmitting packets

Delays (latency) and variability of delay (jitter) are greater in
packet-switched than in circuit-switched networks. This is because
the links are shared, and packets must be entirely received at one
switch before moving to the next.
