WAN Overview
WANs connect remote sites. Connection requirements vary depending on user
requirements, cost, and availability.

Introduction to Serial Communication
Transmission system encodes bits into electrical voltage using methods like NRZ-L or AMI
Some of the many serial communications standards include the following:
RS-232-E V.35 High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI)

ISDN
22
ISDN
Router with standard serial interface, connected to a terminal adapter
Router with native ISDN BRI U or S/T interface or PRI
23
Leased Line
Leased lines are not only used to provide direct point-to-point connections between Enterprise LANS, they can also be used to connect individual branches to a packet switched network.
24
WAN with X.25
X.25 provides a low bit rate, shared-variable capacity that may either be switched or permanent
25
Frame Relay
Most Frame Relay connections are based on PVCs rather than SVCs.
It implements no error or flow control. This leads to reduced latency.
Frame Relay provides permanent shared medium bandwidth connectivity that carries both voice and data traffic.
26
ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a technology
capable of transferring voice, video, and data through private and public networks.
It is built on a cell based architecture rather than on a frame-based architecture.
27
DSL
• DSL uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to transport high-bandwidth data
• DSL service is considered broadband, as it uses multiple frequencies within the same physical medium to transmit data
28
ADSL Technology
Splitter
• The local loop connects the splitter to the DSLAM• DSLAM connected to ISP using ATM technology• Voice and data use separate frequency ranges
(voice 0-4Khz, data 20Khx – 1Mhz)
29
Cable Modem
Enhanced Cable Modems enable two-way. High speed data transmissions using the same coaxial lines that transmit cable television.

Local Significance of DLCIs
The data-link connection identifier (DLCI) is stored in the Address field of every frame transmitted.
73
Frame Relay Terminology
74
Data Link Control Identifier
The 10-bit DLCI associates the frame with its virtual circuit
It is of local significance only - a frame will not generally be delivered with the same DLCI with which it started
Some DLCI’s are reserved
75
Local Management Interface (LMI) Three types of LMIs are supported by Cisco
routers: Cisco — The original LMI extensions Ansi — Corresponding to the ANSI standard
T1.617 Annex D q933a — Corresponding to the ITU standard Q933
Annex A
76
• Frame Relay default: nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA)

79
Frame Relay Address Mapping
Use LMI to get locally significant DLCI from the Frame Relay switch.
Use Inverse ARP to map the local DLCI to the remote router network layer address.
80
Frame Relay Signaling
Cisco supports three LMI standards: Cisco ANSI T1.617 Annex D ITU-T Q.933 Annex A
