2.2.8. Wide Area Networks (WAN)

You ought to think about a wide area network (WAN) as a kind of "meta-network." A WAN is just various local area networks (LANs) associated together. This can be expert in various courses, contingent upon how frequently the LANs should be connected with each other, the amount of data limit (bandwidth) is required, and how incredible the separation is between the LANs. Arrangements incorporate full-time rented phone lines that can convey 56 Kbps of data, devoted DS1 (T-1) lines conveying 1.544 Mbps, DS3 lines conveying 44.736 Mbps, and different structures (like private satellites) conveying significantly higher transmission capacities. You can likewise make WAN utilizing VPNs over the Internet. In spite of the fact that this strategy as a rule offers conflicting transfer speed, it's frequently the slightest costly.

WANs are made when the clients of one LAN need incessant access to the assets on another LAN. For example, an organization's enterprise resource planning (ERP) framework may keep running at the organization's central command, yet the store area needs access to it to utilize its stock and delivery capacities.


When in doubt, on the off chance that you can outline and assemble a framework that doesn't need a WAN, you're normally better off, in light of the fact that WAN connections are frequently costly to keep up. Be that as it may, the geographic and administration structure of a specific organization can manage the utilization of a WAN.
