About this title

Synopsis

Ethernet is not a product, but a set of protocols, or rules, for connecting many computers on a network. The author of this study addresses both the technical and financial concerns of LAN planners and administrators who are working with existing Ethernet networks and want to upgrade, or who are planning to implement a new network. This revised edition features discussion of such topics as switching hubs, routers, and the role of the Ethernet in multimedia networks, with FDDI and ATM. Special attention is given to the new generation of fast Ethernet networks.
