hi all,
what is the difference between public and a private data network? am I
correct in assuming that if you use a *public* data network to connect
your remote offices with your branch offices, you either use the
Internet as the Public DN or frame relay (as the Public DN of a telco)
but if you use leased lines or pt to pt links, then is it considered
as a *private* data network? (since you're not sharing the links with
others) if anybody knows, please enlighten me
thanks!

Private vs Public refers to the IP addressing scheme. You can use
either globally routed IP's (public) or private IP's
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix).
See RFC 1918 for more details.

Pretty much. If a random person around the world can get packets
to your security gate then you are on a public data network.
If only a closed list of places can get to your security gate,
and you can't get out either then you are on a private data network.
In between would be semi-private networks that have clouds
of accessible devices and security gateways to public networks.
For example, a research network might allow public email in
and might allow insiders a wide variety of outward accesses,
but the basic security controls might be far away from
most of the member systems.
To really be considered a private network in the traditional
PSTN sense, there can't be -any- cross-border traffic possible
through the network facilities.
