WAN Switching
Discuss the types of switching expected to be found on a WAN. How do the different types of switching in a WAN influence the security of transmission? Comment on variations and the availability of the tools to help with the implementation of security measures.
According to the Internet search definition archive Webopedia, a WAN or wide area access network is a type of computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a WAN consists of two or more computer networks or LANs, local area access networks www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/local_area_network_LAN.html." Computers connected to a wide-area network are often connected through interconnected public networks, such as the telephone system, or through dial-up connections. These WANs can also be connected through leased lines or satellites. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet, but smaller WANs such as within geographical areas of cities, companies, or university complexes or between academic areas can exist.
Leased lines, unlike dial-up connections, are always active. Such cable or broadband connections tend to be faster than dial-up connections but they are not necessarily more secure. Applying bandwidth management, application layer monitoring,...
(Hotchmuth & Connor, 2004)
For instance, the use of remote office storage and caching appliances can be used to eliminate remote file servers, storage and back-up devices from branch offices, while boosting performance of centrally hosted Unix-, Linux- and Windows-based applications. Such efforts can also increase security, as diminishing…

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode Networks) This report aims to discuss Asynchronous Transfer Mode, known simply as ATM technology, as it pertains to Networking in a detailed and coherent manner. "It is clear that Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology will play a central role in the evolution of current workgroup, campus and enterprise networks. "The ATM protocol is flexible enough to be used not only for local and wide area network applications,

Long-Term Evolution (LTE) A Summary of LTE Long-term evolution (LTE) is an emerging technology. It is a standard in wireless communication, and relates to the effective and efficient transfer of high-speed data for both data terminals and mobile phones (Sesia, Toufik, & Baker, 2011). Based on GSM/EDGE as well as UMTS/HSPA
76). As automation increasingly assumes the more mundane and routine aspects of work of all types, Drucker was visionary in his assessment of how decisions would be made in the years to come. "In the future," said Drucker, "it was possible that all employment would be managerial in nature, and we would then have progressed from a society of labor to a society of management" (Witzel, p. 76). The
This will attract more customers leading to more profits in the organization. In addition, this will create customer loyalty and the company will have a competitive advantage over its rival. Conclusion In conclusion, it is true that Brocade is a successful company. This is due to its increased realization of profits over the last few years. This is evidence from its financial statements including income statements, balance sheet as well as
So as to receive the infrared signals, the receivers can be placed at any location within the office space. The spread spectrum WLANs This system makes use of multiple-cell configuration. This is to say that each of the cells in the arrangement is assigned a certain center frequency that is unique and that lies within a chosen band as to eliminate chances of signal interference. The system employs frequency hopping and
The dollar cost of accomplishing such a feat far outweighs the potential dollar cost of not doing so. The MoonV6 project has been conducted since October 2002 in testing the IPv6 capabilities and interoperability. The project is being led by the North American IPv6 Task Force and "through a series of test events with willing equipment manufacturers, network operators...and various government agencies... The group has continued to advance the cause
