TCP IP Protocols 7 0 This WestNet e-Learning module covers how the underlying Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) works. This includes the use of TCP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), IP, and local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) protocols for use in transporting information between two applications.  more...

LAN and WAN Protocols This WestNet e-Learning module explores local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) protocols and how they are used to get information into the node so it can, in turn, be delivered to the processes at the higher layers.  more...

Convergence of Communications This WestNet e-Learning module discusses how wide area network (WAN) technologies support and help implement converged communications, voice, video, and data all transported over the same physical network topologies. We will also investigate components key to integrating puclic swiched telephone network (PSTN) and data communications.  more...

How Wide Area Networks Work This WestNet e-Learning module discusses the technologies used to connect two or more local area networks (LANs) over an extended distance, resulting in either a metropolitan area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN). The difference between a MAN and a WAN will also be explored.  more...
