The document discusses the inefficiencies of the maximum size of layer 2 frames in relation to modern WAN speeds, which have drastically increased since the inception of TCP/IP. It introduces WAN acceleration as a solution that utilizes oversized layer 2 frames to enhance network throughput. The document also examines various WAN acceleration solutions and their implementation through modifications in layer 2 frame formats.

The maximum size of the Layer 2 frame has become a source of ineffic.docx
- 1. The maximum size of the Layer 2 frame has become a source of inefficiency in terms of modern wide area network (WAN) speeds, which have increased some 400 times over those prevailing when Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) was first introduced as a protocol. One solution to this problem is known as WAN acceleration , which uses oversized frames at Layer 2 to increase network throughput. Discuss available WAN acceleration solutions, and provide a short description of how such solutions are implemented through alteration of the Layer 2 frame format.
