Publisher's Synopsis
Over the next few years, the number of LANs in use is expected to double. An increasing amount of software for LAN management and testing is therefore becoming available. This book provides a guide to the hardware and software tools which can be used to determine LAN performance. This performance depends upon a large number of variables, including the access method, the media and cable length, the bridging and the gateway methods. The text covers all of these variables to enable the reader to select and design equipment for reliability and high performance.
