In this chapter

Introduction

This chapter gives an introduction to the LAN and WAN services available in the

different Intel Express 8100 Router versions, and the common facilities available

of the different WAN services. WAN services include leased line, PPP, Frame

Relay, ISDN and X.25 services.

The different WAN services available in the Intel Express 8100 Router are de-

scribed in the following chapters.

Local Area Networks (LAN) are concerned with the interconnection of distribut-

ed computer systems whose physical location is confined to a localized group of

buildings. The main difference between a communication path established via a

LAN and connections made via Public Data Networks/Wide Area Networks

(WAN) is that connections via a LAN allow for higher transmission rates due to

the short physical distances.
