  2. Audio over Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_over_Ethernet

    AES47 provides audio networking by passing AES3 audio transport over an ATM network using structured network cabling (both copper and fibre). This was used extensively by contractors supplying the BBC's wide area real-time audio connectivity around the UK. Audio over IP differs in that it works at a higher layer, encapsulated within Internet ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(networking)

    If a network is a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), every LAN or WAN node that participates on the data link layer must have a network address, typically one for each network interface controller it possesses. Examples are computers, a DSL modem with Ethernet interface and wireless access point.

  4. Residential gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_gateway

    A residential gateway is a small consumer-grade gateway which bridges network access between connected local area network (LAN) hosts to a wide area network (WAN) (such as the Internet) via a modem, or directly connects to a WAN (as in EttH), while routing. The WAN is a larger computer network, generally operated by an Internet service provider.

  5. Computer network diagram - Wikipedia

    In addition, when the scope of a diagram crosses the common LAN/MAN/WAN boundaries, representative hypothetical devices may be depicted instead of showing all actually existing nodes. For example, if a network appliance is intended to be connected through the Internet to many end-user mobile devices, only a single such device may be depicted ...
