Summary
The SERC network is a large X25 network with 11 exchanges and about 160 DTEs. The network and its developement is described elsewhere in this series of papers. Managing a network of this size is a substantial and complicated task. Initially there was little or no management but now considerable effort is going into providing the various facilities needed. There is still considerable developement to do. The literature on ‘practical’ network management is sparse and suitable equipment is even sparser.
