security to the traffic they carry. They usually provide connectivity to many machines behind a gateway or
firewall.
WAN

two or more LANs. Broadband communication over the WAN is often through public networks such as the
ADSL or Cable systems, or through leased lines or satellites. To simplify it, please image network as a WAN.
