Local Area Networks never go away once implemented
Local Area Networks require more investment in computers, not less
Local Area Networks always grow
A Local Area Networks capability is determined by its weakest link
No Local Area Network is an isLANd; someday you will connect it to someone or something
The current network system being used is called Attached Resource Computer NETwork (ARCNET).
This system was the first local area network (LAN) introduced in 1977 by Datapoint Corporation. ... Although all business needs and perspectives will not necessarily be solved by implementing a new local area network it is important to know that local area networks should only be implemented if they meet stated business needs. ...
ATM - is the up-and-coming technology, but the question remains whether it is appropriate for
small networks. ...
Ethernet - is the most widely-used LAN access method. ...
2) Client/server is used on local area networks and makes use of distributed intelligence to treat
both the server and the individual workstations as intelligent, programmable devices, thus
exploiting the full computing power of each. ...
Possibly some of the best products on the market are intended for small client/server-oriented networks. ... Fast Ethernet does not have FDDI’s built in fault tolerance or link management features, however, these are probably not that critical for smaller networks.
