Abstract
With the extensive introduction of information processing equipment into offices, factories, educational institutions, and laboratories, there has in recent years been a growing need for facilities that permit various resources within a building or site to communicate with one another. Local area networks (LANs) have appeared in response to this demand. Typical LANs are shown in Figure 18.1. A LAN is a group of information-processing machines, with communication capabilities, linked together by transmission lines. The typical LAN communication service territory is shown in Figure 18.2. LANs are normally positioned between computer buses and public communications networks.
