WANs and Routers Module 1: WANs & Routers
WAN Services WANs provide for the exchange of data packets/frames ___________________________ _______________________________________ A WAN interconnects ____________________ _______________________________________ WANs operate at the _______________________ of the OSI model ____________________ Such devices include...
Routers Two main functions: Routers can serve as... ____________________ – serving primarily as paths for traffic from one network to the next within same AS Etc.
Modems Interface with voice-grade connection in order to convert analog signal to digital. Also called
WAN Standards What layers of the OSI model do WAN standards describe?
WAN Physical Layer Protocols that describe how to provide electrical, mechanical, operational, and functional connections for WAN services. Describes the
WAN Physical Layer Typically, the ________________________ ________________________________________ In this model, the services offered to the DTE are made available through a modem or a CSU/DSU.
WAN Physical Layer Several physical layer standards specifying the interface between the DTE & DCE are... EIA/TIA-232 EIA/TIA-449 V.24 Etc.
