WAN Summary
The section displays information of WAN Wide Area Network. WAN is a telecommunications network or computer network that extends over a large geographical distance. Availability, VPN Virtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two. Availability, Usage, Throughput, and Compression.
