Ways to get a WAN connection for a home user

A wide area network is a telecommunication network that extends over large geographical area for primary purpose of computer networking. Nowadays WAN is usually using over frequently.

It simple words we can get a WAN connection by contacting local internet service providers. For example, we have a lot of internet service providers like Airtel, ACT fiber.

Functions of the network core

A core network is telecommunication network's core part, which provides numerous services to customers who are interconnected by access network. Its key function is to direct telephone calls over the public-switched telephone network. This term is also known as network core or backbone network.

So the main function of the network core is to direct telephone calls.

It will give communication between primary nodes.

Network core is also known as backbone network.

• Aggregation: The top degree of aggregation can be seen in service provider network. Next within the core nodes is the distribution networks, followed by the edge networks.
• Authentication: It will determine whether a user demands a service from the telecom network
• Call Control or Switching: It will give feature span of the call depending on signal
• Charging: It will process and charges the data created by multiple network nodes.
• Service Invocation: It executes service invocation task for its customers. Service invocation may occur in mostly call forwarding by the users or call waiting.
• Gateways: It is used in core network for accessing networks. The functionality depends on type of network.

Tracert command:

From the above screenshot you can get information.

ping command

IP Config

Ipconfig gives ip addresses, mac address. These are like identities of a electronic device. Host name means host which gives internet, subnet mask, dns servers, gate way are related to the WAN or any internet connection. These are entrances or connection to our computer and internet servers.
