Hello, My name is Jarred, and I am CCNA Certified, however I have a very very newbie question. I am currently studying for my first CCNP Routing exam, but this has been bugging me....
I was wondering how the phone networks propagate traffic to make several different locations (buildings, etc, each with their own routers/switches) look like/act like they are in the same network, for lack of better terms. For example, a Frame Relay network...how does the phone company forward traffic to the frame relay switches located at a centralized building (in an ideal frame relay setup)? This might be a bad example but it's been bugging me how a broadcast network would work over phone lines, unless the phone company does actually dedicate straight lines JUST for your network, essentially making it look like a local network. I don't know much about this scenario, so if someone could enlighten me so that I could better imagine how these networks could be setup. Thanks!
