Nemertes Issue Paper: The Three-Tiered WAN Architecture


The Issue:

Although it’s common practice to refer to “the WAN” as though it were a single monolithic network, in reality a wide-area network connects three discrete types of sites: Data centers, distributed offices, and remote offices and users. Each has unique requirements for bandwidth, latency and availability, and often the optimal architecture for linking all three site types incorporates a range of services.

Topics covered in this Issue Paper include:

  • Wired Internet-based VPNs
  • MPLS
  • Broadband wireless Internet Services
