7. What is a characteristic of
a WAN?
8. What is a disadvantage of
leased lines?
9. Which medium do service
providers use to transmit
data over WAN
connections with SONET,
SDH, and DWDM?
1. private infrastructure 10.
2. dedicated
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.1
Private dedicated leased lines
provide secure, fast, and reliable
communications. Because we
cannot control the quality and
availability of the service, public
infrastructure is not reliable, and
a switched line is often subject to
peaks of utilization.
WAN service providers include
carriers such as a telephone
network or satellite service.
11.
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.1.1
A WAN operates beyond the
geographic scope of a LAN and
it is owned by a service provider.
WANs are used to interconnect
the enterprise LAN to remote
LANs in branch sites and
telecommuter sites. WAN service
providers include carriers such
as a telephone network, cable

company, or satellite service. It
is not feasible to connect LANs
across a country, or around the
world, with physical cables.
high cost
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.2
The disadvantages of leased
lines include:
- Cost: Point-to-point links are
generally the most expensive
type of WAN access.
- Limited flexibility: WAN traffic is
often variable, and leased lines
have a fixed capacity, so that the
bandwidth of the line seldom
matches the need exactly.
fiber optic
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.1
Technologies such as SONET,
SDH, and DWDM are designed
to run over fiber optic cables.

wait for larger data packets to be transmitted.
Ethernet WAN provides a switched, high-
bandwidth Layer 2 network capable of
managing data, voice, and video all on the
same infrastructure. Dialup has little delay or
jitter for point-to-point traffic, but voice or
video traffic does not operate adequately
because of the low bit rates.

WAN The 53-byte ATM cell is less efficient for
technology? bigger frames, because the ATM cell has at
least 5 bytes of overhead for each 48-byte
payload. When the cell is carrying
segmented network layer packets, the
overhead is higher because the ATM switch
must be able to reassemble the packets at the
destination. VSATs create a private WAN while
providing connectivity to remote locations.
ISDN BRI is intended for the home and small
enterprise and provides two 64 kb/s B
channels and a 16 kb/s D channel.
13. Which three traffic-related factors
would influence selecting a particular
WAN link type? (Choose three.)
14. Which two technologies are
categorized as private WAN
infrastructures? (Choose two.)
15. Which two WAN infrastructure
services are examples of private
connections? (Choose two.)
16. Which WAN technology uses a fixed
payload of 48 bytes and is
transported across both switched and
permanent virtual circuits?
1. type of traffic
2. amount of traffic
3. security needs
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.4
The traffic-related factors that influence selecting a particular WAN link type include the
type of traffic, amount of traffic, quality requirements, and security requirements. Quality
requirements include ensuring that traffic that cannot tolerate delay gets priority treatment as
well as important business transactional traffic.
1. Frame Relay
2. MetroE
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.2
Private WAN technologies include leased lines, dialup, ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet
WAN (an example is MetroE), MPLS, and VSAT.
1. T1/E1
2. Frame Relay
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.2
Private WANs can use T1/E1, T3/E3, PSTN, ISDN, Metro Ethernet, MPLS, Frame Relay, ATM,
or VSAT technology.
ATM
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.2
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells are always a fixed length of 53 bytes that contain
48 bytes of ATM payload and a 5-byte ATM header.
