Awideareanetwork（WAN）isanetworkthatcoversabroadarea（i.e.,anytelecommunicationsnetworkthatlinksacrossmetropolitan,regional,nationalorinternationalboundaries）usingleasedtelecommunicationlines.（BanWei,2002year）BusinessandgovernmententitiesutilizeWANstorelaydataamongemployees,clients,buyers,andsuppliersfromvariousgeographicallocations.Inessence,thismodeoftelecommunicationallowsabusinesstoeffectivelycarryoutitsdailyfunctionregardlessoflocation.TheInternetcanbeconsideredaWANaswell,andisusedbybusinesses,governments,organizations,andindividualsforalmostanypurposeimaginable.
