WAN Protocols, Circuits and Types
A wide area network, unlike LAN, exists over a large geographical area by connecting
smaller networks such as LANs and MANs.WAN protocols are rules and standards which
govern the performance of the wide area networks. WAN technologies use the lower three layers
of the OSI reference model which are; physical layer, data link layer, and network layer but most
of them are layer two protocols. There are different types of Wan Technologies and designs, and
as communication technology continues to change, WAN networks require the service of a
suitable network carrier and good designing for their efficiency.

Point to Point Protocol
Point-to-point connections are a common type of wide area networks connections used to
connect LANs to the WANs of service providers.PPP connections can also be used to connect
segments of LANs within an organization’s network. The point-to-point protocol provides a
standard way for transporting multi-protocol data over point-to-point links. The protocol is used
to connect non-similar routers such as a Cisco router and a non-cisco router.PPP provides the
data-link service regarding the OSI model and can be used in varieties of physical media such as
fiber-optic lines, twisted pair copper wires and also satellite transmissions(“The Point-to-Point
Protocol Computer Networking : Principles, Protocols, and Practice,” n.d.).
The point-to-point protocol uses HDLC protocol to encapsulate datagrams over serial
links and also use link control protocol and network control protocol. Link control protocol helps
