When you say "wan" - just what kind of physical circuit is it?
In the "old" days..... invariably wan was associated with a serial
point-to-point type of communication.
However, today your wan could actually be an ethernet LAN extension. With
ethernet, it is very probable that either between your cpe and the remote
end cpe there are a couple a switches, hubs etc, in the mix.
So, your ethernet would connect to a switch in the local POP. Since you get
a link between the POP and you - you'll never know which end is down because
most likely your interface will still be reporting up/up even when there's
no comms.
