WAN Termination
I'WAN termination refers to the endpoint or connection point where a Wide Area Network (WAN) connects to another network, such as the internet or another WAN. It represents the boundary between the local network infrastructure and the broader, often geographically dispersed network. WAN termination devices, such as routers or network termination units (NTUs), play a crucial role in managing the transition of data between the local network and the wider network. These devices typically handle tasks like encapsulating and decapsulating data, addressing, and routing. WAN termination is significant for ensuring seamless and secure communication between different networks, facilitating the exchange of data across varying geographical distances. The efficiency and effectiveness of WAN termination impact the overall performance and reliability of network connectivity.m a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
