See Wide Area Network.
WAN links
Communications connections between groups of computers that are spread across a large geographical distance. Modem connections, T1 lines, and satellite hookups are some common examples. See also Wide Area Network.
well-known endpoint
RPC: A preassigned, stable endpoint that a server can use every time it runs. Well-known endpoints typically are assigned by a central authority responsible for a transport protocol. An application declares a well-known endpoint either as an attribute in an RPC interface header or as a variable in the server application code. See also dynamic endpoint, endpoint.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
