23 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. WAN with X.25 X.25 provides a low bit rate, shared-variable capacity that may either be switched or permanent

24 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 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.

25 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 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.

26 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 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

27 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 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)

28 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cable Modem Enhanced Cable Modems enable two- way. High speed data transmissions using the same coaxial lines that transmit cable television.

35 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 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

39 © 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 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
