IDSL is a technical innovation from Ascend and the first of a series of DSL product offerings from Ascend. It stands for ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL). IDSL uses the 2B1Q line coding standard for ISDN BRI circuits. Used for
Wiring that is done from the point of demarcation to the jack in the wall where the line terminates.

A private network inside a company or organization that uses the same kinds of software that you would find on the public Internet, but that is only for internal use.

Local Area Network is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A LAN, as its name implies, is limited to a local area. This has to do more with the electrical characteristics of the medium than the fact that many early LANs were designed for departments, although the latter accurately describes a LAN as well. LANs have different topologies, the most common being the linear bus and the star configuration.
