NETW208 Major Wide Area Networks
Programming
The three WAN technologies and protocols you will be researching are
- frame relay;
- MPLS; and
- 3G–4G.
The lab report is to be a minimum of five pages in length for the body of the report but can be as long as you wish to make it after meeting the five-pageminimum.
It is to include a title page with your name, date, and class identification.
There is also to be a reference page at the end where you cite any materials you used in preparing this report.
The title page, reference page, Table of Contents, or any graphs and figures will not count as part of the five pages minimum for this report.
Points will be deducted accordingly if the report doesn’t meet any of the requirements set forth in these instructions. You are to use APAformatting throughout.
You will describe the basic features and functions of the three WAN technologies and protocols assigned above. If possible, list prices and service providers of these services.
You are to focus on how the connections are made (leased lines, Internet, phone lines, etc.), equipment needed, and how the data is transmitted. This is to include what is done to the data to identify who it is from and where it is going and the possible speeds that the data can be transmitted at. With both wired, wireless, and transmission protocols being assigned, this will provide you with a good start in how data can be transmitted between remote locations.
