  2. Wide area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_network

    The textbook definition of a WAN is a computer network spanning regions, countries, or even the world. [3] [4] However, in terms of the application of communication protocols and concepts, it may be best to view WANs as computer networking technologies used to transmit data over long distances, and between different networks.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_network

    Wide area networks (WAN) Metropolitan area networks (MAN) Local area networks (LAN) There are three features that differentiate MANs from LANs or WANs: The area of the network size is between LANs and WANs. The MAN will have a physical area between 5 and 50 km in diameter. [2] MANs do not generally belong to a single organization.

    An SD-WAN utilizing virtualization techniques assisted with WAN Optimization traffic control allows network bandwidth to dynamically grow or shrink as needed. SD-WAN technology and WAN optimization can be used separately or together, [30] and some SD-WAN vendors are adding WAN optimization features to their products. [20] [31]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_Relay

    Frame Relay is a standardized wide area network (WAN) technology that specifies the physical and data link layers of digital telecommunications channels using a packet switching methodology. Originally designed for transport across Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) infrastructure, it may be used today in the context of many other ...
