Leased Line
Used to provide point-to-point dedicated network
connectivity.
Analog leased line can provide maximum bandwidth
of 9.6 Kbps.
Digital leased lines can provide bandwidths :
64 Kbps, 2 Mbps (E1), 8 Mbps (E2), 34 Mbps (E3) ...

ISDN
Another alternative to using
analog telephones lines to
establish a connection is ISDN.
Speed is one advantage ISDN has
over telephone line connections.
ISDN network is a switched digital
network consisting of ISDN
Switches.
Each node in the network is
identified by hierarchical ISDN
address which is of 15 digits.
ISDN user accesses network
through a set of standard
interfaces provided by ISDN User
Interfaces.

ISDN
Two types of user access are defined
Basic Access - Consists of two 64Kbps user channels
(B channel) and one 16Kbps signally channel (D channel)
providing service at 144 Kbps.
Primary access - Consists of thirty 64Kbps user
channels (B channels) and a 64 Kbps signally channel (D
channel) providing service at 2.048Mbps (One 64 Kbps
channel is used for Framing and Synchronization).
B Information 128 Kbps
