Competing Architectures for Next-Generation LANs: VLANs, IP and Multilayer Switching The LANs of old were based upon Ethernet, Token-Ring and FDDI technologies. The user's criteria for selecting a LAN technology were simple -- cost and performance. Times have changed, and the networking components that make up a LAN and a network of LANs have evolved into a higher level of sophistication. Software feature functionality and architecture diversity now permeate the marketplace. The selection of technology is no longer simple but requires knowledge of present and future application use, security, scalability and management requirements. This session will focus on the capabilities and demands of each new LAN architectural alternative and its impact on current installations. Wednesday, November 19, 2:15 P.M. - 3:30 P.M.
