The document describes an experiment on connecting computers in a wide area network (WAN) using Cisco Packet Tracer. The experiment involves 19 computers, 7 switches, 1 router, 2 servers, 2 clouds, and various connection types. It defines a WAN as a network that aggregates different link types and speeds across large geographic areas like cities and countries. There are two main types of WANs: switched and point-to-point. The largest example of a WAN is the Internet, and other examples include bank ATM networks.

Abstract:
The WAN is a place in the network that aggregates various types, speeds, and links
running a disparate set of protocols together crossing metropolitan, state, and even
country boundaries. The largest example of a WAN is the Internet itself, which can
be regarded as the public WAN. The primary purposeof a WAN is to connect
users and applications connected to various LANs.
What is WAN and its types?
There are two types of WAN: Switched WAN and Point-to-Point WAN. WAN is
difficult to design and maintain. Similar to a MAN, the fault tolerance of a WAN is
less and there is more congestion in the network.
What is WAN example?
WAN-Wide Area Network Example
The Internet is a WAN. A network of bank cash dispensers is a WAN. A school
network is usually a LAN. LANs are often connected to WANs, for example a
schoolnetwork could be connected to the Internet.
