	Wide area network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A wide area network or WAN is a computer network covering a wide geographical area, involving a vast array of computers.
		WANs are used to connect local area networks (LANs) together, so that users and computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations.
		X.25 was an important early WAN protocol, and is often considered to be the "grandfather" of Frame Relay as many of the underlying protocols and functions of X.25 are still in use today (with upgrades) by Frame Relay.

		A wide area network (WAN) is a data communications network that covers a relatively broad geographic area and often uses transmission facilities provided by common carriers, such as telephone companies.
		Wide Area Networks are built to provide communication solutions for organizations or people who need to exchange digital information between two distant places.
		WAN Services' primary purpose is to ensure that our customers have dependable, centralized and secure data transmission between the i_TECH network and our customer's centralized access site.

	WAN - Wide Area Network (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		WANs are built to provide communication solutions for organizations or people who need to exchange digital information between two distant places (in one country or in two different countries).
		WANs enable an organization to have one integral network between all its departments and offices, even if they are not all in the same building or city, providing communication between the organization and the rest of the world.
		The second network service is ISDN, which is a fully digitized service, enabling communication for most types of data (voice, computer data and images) at all the network nodes (meaning in every house).

		With the variety of network appliances in the District's network, that meant several "flavors" of modules had to be installed.
		Networking personnel are still in the process of replacing these 4700s and should have the project completed within the next month.
		Finally, in June, a Network Operations Center, or NOC, was hired on in a trial mode, to see if this type of operation could alleviate some of the work put on the networking personnel in trying to maintain a 24 x 7 x 365 uptime for the colleges.

	Wide Area Network
		In both cable-based HFC networks and ADSL, access is expected to be billed at a flat rate; data is transmitted transparently to the CO or head end to be routed by the back-end equipment to backbone networks and ISPs.
		Many network designers point to the cable industry's history of outages and poor customer service, noting that cable networks were built to broadcast entertainment and news, not to deliver critical data and transactions to hospitals during unfavorable weather conditions, for instance.
		Upgrading networks to HFC and building data communication infrastructures does not co me cheaply, and the cable industry's major source of revenue--supplying traditional TV content--is being gnawed at by the satellite communication industry, which is also planning to compete for data-access customers.

	Step 6: Wide Area Network (WAN) Fact Sheet - Schools and Libraries - USAC
		A wide area network (WAN) is a voice, data, or video network that provides connections from one or more computers or networks within an eligible school or library to one or more computers or networks that are external to such eligible school or library.
		Excluded from this definition is a network that provides connections between or among buildings of a single school campus or between or among buildings of a single library outlet or branch, when those connections do not cross a public right of way.
		Networking components located within a school or library facility are most often internal connections rather than WAN components.

	3Com Technical Papers: What is a WAN (Wide Area Network) ?
		Whereas a LAN (local area network) is a network that links computers, printers and other devices located in an office, a building or even a campus, a WAN (wide area network) is a system that extends for greater distances and is used to connect LANs (local area networks) together.
		With a WAN in place, employees at the LANs in any of your offices, regardless of how geographically distant they may be, can freely exchange files and data with each other as if they were physically connected to one network.
		The WAN connection you choose depends on your needs, your budget, the kinds of services you want and the types of connectivity services that are available in your region.

	Directional Gossip: Gossip in a Wide Area Network - Lin, Marzullo (ResearchIndex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Abstract: this paper is the wide area network gossip protocol; we do not address local area network issues further.
		In Section 1 we argued that to have a high reliability of message delivery, a wide area network gossip protocol needs to have some information about the network topology.
		Wide area networks can be large and their topology may change frequently, and so we decided not to require each gossip server to have a priori knowledge about the entire network topology.

	WIDE AREA NETWORK SIMULATION
		The network does not know anything about the end-to-end application that is running over an ATM connection after the connection has been established.
		TDM networks move information in fixed-length 8-bit “time slots.” Because TDM networks are designed to carry voice, 8,000 time slots per second (the rate of sampling used for the digitalization of voice) are allocated to each connection.
		In our network design the vendor specific boxes that we are using are not equipped with Ethernet port, hence we created a default management group configured manually with management IP access enabled.

	Oregon Wide Area Network -- OWEN
		That is, NERO is a network of networks (contrast with a network that directly connects end-users).
		Briefly, the concept behind statistical multiplexing is that the natural distribution of traffic flows in a packet network allows for bursts (brief periods of high traffic) from any source that is equal to the underlying capacity of the network.
		In addition, a peer network is immediately able to take advantage of the various NERO connectivity sources without having to understand or negotiate those arrangements for itself.

	WAN (Wide Area Network) (Linktionary term)
		A WAN is generally an extension of an internal network into the wide area using private circuits such as T1 lines or virtual circuits in cell and packet switched networks such as ATM and frame relay.
		Because WANs have been built with private leased lines, bandwidth has traditionally been low and costs have been high, which required careful monitoring and filtering of traffic between sites.
		WANs can also be constructed across the Internet by implementing VPN (virtual private network) technology.

	Towards Wide-Area Network Piranha: Implementing Java-Linda
		WAN Piranha will have to schedule effectively in an environment where 1) the availability of the computing nodes for the entire run of the computation is not certain, 2) the range of computing devices available and their capabilities will vary greatly, and 3) interprocess communication time will vary greatly.
		The main idea for how the trellis can be used for scheduling in WAN Piranha is that the data needed to make scheduling decisions is arranged hierarchically and a trellis can be constructed from the levels of this hierarchy.
		In addition, since Java is a language especially suited to network and internet computing, security is a central part of its design; thus, while not eliminating the security problem for Piranha, it does provide a clear framework and mechanism for dealing with it.
