Fast Ethernet

Because it can dramatically improve high speed implementations, Fast Ethernet is the fastest growing networking technology in IT history. Written by people who build high speed networks, this book is an authoritative, comprehensive guide to Fast Ethernet technology. Drawing from their own experiences, the authors provide real world answers for network managers and detail how fast ethernet works as well as obstacles that will slow it down. The book covers installation scenarios and solutions, common problems and FAQs, network expansion advice, and networking with Windows NT and Windows 95.

Fast Ethernet provides a means of giving local area networks the speed and bandwidth needed to run messaging, multimedia and Internet-based applications.

An extensive blueprint for understanding and implementing Fast Ethernet—quickly, efficiently, and reliably.

Written by two Compaq engineers with extensive experience designing and building Fast Ethernet networks, this comprehensive guide gives the hands-on advice you need to quickly and efficiently migrate to a low-cost, reliable, high-speed networking environment and to optimize performance. The only Fast Ethernet guide written from the network manager's point of view, it emphasizes a complete understanding of the underlying technology as the key to implementation success. Several illustrated examples depict solid strategies for integrating Fast Ethernet technology into your network without incurring lengthy downtime or compromising current system capabilities.

Quinn and Russell's Fast Ethernet: * Describes, in accessible terms, how Fast Ethernet technology works. * Covers all components, from NICs and repeaters to switches androuters * Helps you analyze current and future network needs, and shows how Fast Ethernet can solve bandwidth problems. * Provides planning and design guidelines as well as real-world scenarios. * Arms you with network management strategies guaranteed to help keep your Fast Ethernet system performing at peak levels. * Covers key features of Fast Ethernet equipment and how they can work for you

Two engineers from Compaq Computers share their considerable experience with the Fast Ethernet technology from the perspective of a network manager. Arguing that a complete understanding of the underlying technology is the key to successful implementation, they explain the principles, components, how to analyze current and future network needs, planning and design guidelines, management strategies, and key features. They include a glossary without pronunciation but no bibliography.
