Types of WANs
![Page 7: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Switching Methods
Circuit Switching: Requires a dedicated communication path for duration of transmission; wastes bandwidth, but minimizes delays
Message Switching: Entire path is not dedicated, but long delays result from intermediate storage and repetition of message
Packet Switching: Specialized message switching, with very little delay
![Page 8: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Circuit-SwitchingDefinition: Communication in which a
dedicated communications path is established between two devices through one or more intermediate switching nodes
Dominant in both voice and data communications today e.g. PSTN is a circuit-switched network
Relatively inefficient (100% dedication even without 100% utilization)
![Page 9: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Circuit-Switching Stages
Circuit establishmentTransfer of information
point-to-point from endpoints to node internal switching/multiplexing among
nodes
Circuit disconnect
![Page 10: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Circuit Establishment
Station requests connection from node Node determines best route, sends
message to next link Each subsequent node continues the
establishment of a path Once nodes have established
connection, test message is sent to determine if receiver is ready/able to accept message
![Page 11: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Information Transfer
Point-to-point transfer from source to node
Internal switching and multiplexed transfer from node to node
Point-to-point transfer from node to receiver
Usually a full-duplex connection throughout
![Page 12: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Circuit Disconnect
When transfer is complete, one station initiates termination
Signals must be propagated to all nodes used in transit in order to free up resources
![Page 13: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Past Criticism of ISDN
“Innovations Subscribers Don’t Need” , “It Still Doesn’t Network” , “It Still Does Nothing”
Why so much criticism? overhyping of services before delivery high price of equipment delay in implementing infrastructure incompatibility between providers' equipment.
Didn’t live up to early promises

Wide Area Networking Issues
Trend towards distributed processing architectures to support applications and organizational needs.
Expansion of wide area networking technologies and services available to meet those needs.
Dedicated vs. Switched WAN Services
![Page 24: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
X.25
The oldest packet switched service is X.25, a standard developed by ITU-T. X.25 offers datagram, switched virtual circuit, and permanent virtual circuit services (Data link layer protocol: LAPB (Link Access Procedure-Balanced), network layer protocol PLP).
Although widely used in Europe, X.25 is not widespread in North America. The primary reason is transmission speed, now 2.048 Mbps (up from 64 Kbps).
![Page 25: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Frame Relay Characteristics
Frame relay is a packet switching technology that transmits data faster than X.25. It differs from X.25 and traditional networks in three important ways:1. Frame relay only operates at the data link layer.2. Frame relay networks do not perform error control.3. Frame relay defines two connection data rate that are
negotiated per connection and for each virtual circuit as it is established: Committed information rate (CIR) and Maximum allowable rate (MAR).
Transmission speeds: 56 Kbps to 45 Mbps. Frame relay lacks of standards.

30
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
ATM has four important differences from frame relay:
ATM uses fixed packet lengths of 53 bytes (5 bytes of overhead and 48 bytes of user data), which is more suitable for voice transmissions.
ATM provides extensive quality of service information that enables the setting of very precise priorities among different types of transmissions (i.e. voice, video & e-mail; services include CBR, VBR, ABR & UBR).
ATM is scaleable. It is easy to multiplex basic ATM circuits into much faster ATM circuits.
ATM provides connection-oriented services only.
![Page 31: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Virtual Channels & Virtual Paths
Logical connections in ATM are virtual channels analogous to a virtual circuit in X.25 or a
frame relay logical connection used for connections between two end
users, user-network exchange (control signaling), and network-network exchange (network management and routing)
A virtual path is a bundle of virtual channels that have the same endpoints.

T Carrier Circuits
T Carrier circuits are dedicated digital circuits and are the most commonly used form of dedicated circuit services in North America today.
Instead of a modem, a channel service unit (CSU) or data service unit (DSU) are used to connect the circuit into the network.
![Page 36: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
T Carrier Circuits
T-1 circuit (a.k.a. a DS-1 circuit) provides a data rate of 1.544 Mbps. T-1’s allow 24 simultaneous 64 Kbps channels (with TDM) which transport data, or voice messages using pulse code modulation. (64Kbps x 24 = 1.536Mbps)
T-2 circuit (6.312 Mbps) is basically a multiplexed bundle of four T-1 circuits.
T-3 circuit (44.376 Mbps) is equal to the capacity of 28 T-1 circuits (672 64Kbps channels).
T-4 circuit (274.176 Mbps) is equal to the capacity of 178 T-1s.Fractional T-1, (FT-1) offers portions of a 1.544 Mbps T-1 for a
fraction of its full costs.

*Digital signal X (DS-x) A term for the series of standard digital transmission rates or levels based on DS0, a transmission rate of 64 Kbps, the bandwidth normally used for one telephone voice channel.
Both the North American T-carrier system and the European E-carrier systems of transmission operate using the DS series as a base multiple. The digital signal is what is carried inside the carrier system.
![Page 39: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
*E Carrier Circuits (European Standard)
E1 - 2.048 Mbps (32 DS-0). E1 carries at a higher data rate than T-1 because, unlike T-1, it does not do bit-robbing and all eight bits per channel are used to code the signal. E1 and T-1 can be interconnected for international use.
E2 - 8.448 Mbps. E3 - 16 E1 signals, 34.368 Mbps. E4 - four E3 channels, 139.264 Mbps. E5 - four E4 channels, 565.148 Mbps.

Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)
An Optical Network for Dedicated Connection Services.
SONET has been accepted by the U.S. Standards Agency (ANSI) as a standard for optical (fiber) transmission at gigabits per second speed.
The International Telecommunications Standards Agency (ITU-T) also standardized a version of SONET under the name of synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH). The two are very similar and can be easily interconnected.

*Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS)
Characteristics of SMDS: Uses ATM-like 53-byte cells, but a different address
format. Provides datagram-based transmission services. So, it is
a connectionless service. Data unit is large enough to encapsulate frames of
Ethernet, token ring and FDDI. An unreliable packet service like ATM and frame relay.
Like ATM and frame relay, SMDS does not perform error checking; the user is responsible for error checking.
Speed ranging 56kbps - 44.375Mbps. Not yet a widely accepted standard. Its future is uncertain.

Ethernet/IP Packet Network
A MAN/WAN service started in 2000 X.25, ATM, frame relay and SMDS use
traditional PSTN and thus provided by the common carrier such as AT&T and BellSouth. ISP with Ethernet/IP packet service laid their own gigabit Ethernet fiber-optic networks in large cities.
All traffic entering the network must be Ethernet using IP.
![Page 46: 1 Topic 8: WAN - Chapter 11 & 12: Wide Area Networks Business Data Communications, 4e.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f175503460f94c2d87a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
MPLS is a standards-approved technology for speeding up network traffic flow and making it easier to manage.
MPLS sets up a specific path for a given sequence of packets, identified by a label put in each packet, thus saving the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node to forward the packet to.
MPLS is called multiprotocol because it works with the IP, ATM, and frame relay network protocols.
MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level.
In addition to moving traffic faster overall, MPLS makes it easy to manage a network for quality of service (QoS).
