Synopsis:

Principles and technologies utilised in local area networks (LANs), starting from shared media (bus, ring) networks, their interconnection and concluding with current switching technologies (virtual LANs, ATM) and wireless. Attention is given to communication protocols for LANs and to network operating systems (client support, servers, and gateways).
