A wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits. [1] Businesses, as well as schools and government entities, use wide area networks to relay data to staff, students, clients, buyers and suppliers from various ...
X.25 is an ITU-T standard protocol suite for packet-switched data communication in wide area networks (WAN). It was originally defined by the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT, now ITU-T) in a series of drafts and finalized in a publication known as The Orange Book in 1976.
A computer network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any telecommunications network. Computer network diagrams form an important part of network documentation.
Research into packet switching at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) began with a proposal for a wide-area network in 1965, [23] and a local-area network in 1966. [148] ARPANET funding was secured in 1966 by Bob Taylor, and planning began in 1967 when he hired Larry Roberts. The NPL network followed by the ARPANET became operational in 1969 ...
WAN optimization is a collection of techniques for improving data transfer across wide area networks (WANs). In 2008, the WAN optimization market was estimated to be $1 billion, [1] and was to grow to $4.4 billion by 2014 according to Gartner, [2] a technology research firm. In 2015 Gartner estimated the WAN optimization market to be a $1.1 ...
