The plethora of wide area network (WAN) options available continues to grow as technology advances. While new options and changing technologies give companies and their WAN managers more choices to solve problems, these new options also add complexity. The result is often an increasing number of WAN managers scratching their heads trying to find the right WAN technology fit for their increasingly complex networking needs. This white paper is designed to help WAN managers navigate the choices available in today's wide area networking environment. The paper focuses on the two primary WAN options used today: frame relay and network-based IP virtual private networks (IP VPNs).
