What is the exact breakpoint when a LAN becomes a WAN? Exactly how large does a LAN have to be to be considered a WAN? Is it when it is no longer feasible to connect two networks via ethernet and you have to use an ISP?
1. The break point occurs when you try to join two routers that are cities apart, and the the medium used between those two routers to send packets don't share the same transmission tech i.e one is using Ethernet tech and the other is using SONET links. 2. A LAN technically can't be judged by saying it as a WAN if it's large enough or not, the point is if your connection are very far apart you can't just consider it Local. 3. Ideally you never need an ISP IF, you have the privately owned land that will be covered by the transmission lines from one office to the other which are several hunderd miles apart to which you want to connect to, all the wires for transmission, all the resources, which is technically impossible unless you are a multi million or a billion dollar company.
Question: if the buildings are separated by 100 yards or so like you mentioned in your first diagram, then how is a connection physically shared between the two via ethernet connection? Are the cables run underground?
@@jordancdennis8522 From what I know, the connection between the two buildings can be Ethernet, fibre, or even via radio. signals strength over Ethernet, continuously degrades with every extra meter. It can work within distances up to 100metres. But if you want a stable network, I will suggest running a fibre or if you still prefer the Ethernet, place a repeater/amplifier to boost the strength before terminating inside building B. Are the cables run underground, certainly you can you do that provided you properly insulate and protect the cable. Hope this helps
The company I work for has new scanners but the old ones have issues connecting to the wan. Soooo could it be the leased line they have is p to p for the new ones, and the old one were frame relay? Do changes in the d-Marc have to be made? I have no idea what I'm talking about here. Watch the video once and shooting my shot.
Best explanation I've found on UA-cam. Thank you
Point-to-point and peer-to-peer are both abreviated P2P. That must be causing someone headahces somewhere.
Thank you. I'm currently doing the google IT course and this video was needed for clarification
Great and clear explanation, thank you very much!
Thank you for your introduction video. It helps me much.
Thanks a million. I've been asking myself how 2 different sites connect to each other.
Learning IT as a hobby 😅 thanks for the clear explanation 😊

I'd like to know as well. Learning networking can be too abstract a lot of the time. I want to know/see how the physical cables are ran.

Great video. Really helped me out!
Does it mean that WAN is establish ONLY if both LAN (same company from different branch) using the same ISP??
Very good explanation for wi fi network system
Great vid!
very informative thankyou so much sir.
Thank you for this!
Thank you!
very useful video
Why is a wan not directly connect to an end system?
I would use POP instead of CO, as most telco name in that way.
Nice boi
Nice explanation. .:) Thank you sir
thank you!
Why is N.Y. on the left?!?!?
he is looking at it upside down
Because he resides closer to NY and has it as a first reference.
it's cool..
Which I better for my ps4
