Converging the LAN & WAN Infrastructure in the Enterprise
Overview The data network of a typical medium to large enterprise needs to satisfy three different interconnection objectives. First, it has to interconnect users within a single building or campus. This is typically referred to as the Local Area Network or LAN. Many companies have users in multiple locations that may be in the same city, in different cities or even in different countries. They may also need to connect to their customer sites. Therefore, the second objective of any enterprise's network is to interconnect users across these geographically dispersed sites. The essential difference between this and the first requirement is that the connectivity is now through one or more service providers.
