Planning and designing high speed networks using 100VG-AnyLAN (Hewlett-Packard professional books)

This book focuses on planning and designing networks based on 100VG-AnyLAN. The author describes 100VG-AnyLAN technology from the demand priority protocol to data flow and compares other current technologies. The book uses a solution-based approach to network design and presents other AnyLAN design recommendations and topology rules. Key Features: enables readers to determine how routing, Ethernet switching, and 100VG-AnyLAN technologies can alleviate network bottlenecks; describes each technology; and provides before and after network topologies.

LAN users are requiring higher performance networks to deal with increasing network size, increasing speed requirements of attached devices, and network saturation. This volume explores the currently available performace-enhancing network technologies--and is the first book to cover the newest high-speed technology, 100VG-AnyLAN.
