WAN is an acronym for Wide Area Network. There is no specific protocol; we use the same protocols regardless of which network we are communicating with. The gateway computer determines whether a specified IP address resides within the intranet (the local network) or the internet (WAN) and routes the packets accordingly.

What are the various topology of WAN and what is the drawback in BUS topology?

there are a few different topologies when you are talking about WAN's but remember WAN's topologies are different than LAN's because of the area they cover. But there are bus wan, ring wan, star wan, full mesh wan, partial mesh wan, and tiered wan. as far as a drawback to bus topology is that each site in the wan bus topolgy depends on every other site in the network to transmit and receive its traffic.
