Ms Word Exercise 3
Type the following paragraphs.

Using the Internet as the communication backbone

C ompanies whose facilities are split between two or more locations can connect the locations into a single logical
network through the use of routers and wide area networking (WAN) technologies.

When a circuit-switched network like the telephone network, is used, permanent or switched circuit services are employed
to emulate the physical attachment of the two sites for router-to-router packet exchange. Despite the fact that the WAN
technologies almost always use shared, public, communication utilities, the network constructed by such an organization is
usually considered private.

When a packet network, such as the Internet, is used as the WAN for connecting the sites, the private nature of router-to-
router communications is threatened, since the network provides no guarantee regarding packet delivery.
