Under what circumstances would you use a VLAN backbone?
Explain how routed backbones work.
In Figure 8-5, would the network still work if we removed the routers in each building and just had one core router?What would be the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?
Explain how switched backbones work.
What are the key advantages and disadvantages of routed and switched backbones?

Explain how VPN services work.
Compare the three types of VPN.
How can you improveWAN performance?
Describe five important factors in selecting WAN services.
Are Ethernet services a major change in the future of networking or a technology blip?
Are there anyWAN technologies that you would avoid if you were building a network today? Explain.
Suppose you joined a company that had a WAN composed of SONET, T carrier, and frame relay services, each selected to match a specific network need for a certain set of circuits. Would you say this was a well-designed network? Explain.
It is said that frame relay services and dedicated-circuit services are somewhat similar from the perspective of the network designer.Why?
