A communications network that covers a wide geographic area such as state or country. A LAN (local area network) is within a building or complex, and a MAN (metropolitan area network) generally covers a city or suburb. WFQ-weighted fair queuing. In QoS, a flow-based queuing algorithm that schedules low-volume traffic first while letting high-volume traffic share the remaining bandwidth. This is handled by assigning a weight to each flow, where lower weights are the first to be serviced. WRR-Weighted Round-Robin. Type of round-robin scheduling that prevents low-priority queues from being completely neglected during periods of high-priority traffic. The WRR scheduler transmits some packets from each queue in turn. The number of packets it transmits corresponds to the relative importance of the queue.

VQP
—VLAN Query Protocol.
VTP
—VLAN Trunking Protocol.
WAN
—wide area network. A communications network that covers a wide geographic area such as state
or country. A LAN (local area network) is within a building or complex, and a MAN (metropolitan area
network) generally covers a city or suburb.
WFQ
—weighted fair queuing. In QoS, a flow-based queuing algorithm that schedules low-volume
traffic first while letting high-volume traffic share the remaining bandwidth. This is handled by assigning
a weight to each flow, where lower weights are the first to be serviced.
WRR
—Weighted Round-Robin. Type of round-robin scheduling that prevents low-priority queues from
being completely neglected during periods of high-priority traffic. The WRR scheduler transmits some
packets from each queue in turn. The number of packets it transmits corresponds to the relative
importance of the queue.
