A Study of FDDI and Ethernet Traffic on the LANL Network Backbone: This paper discusses several network traffic traces taken on the Los Alamos National Laboratory backbone between 2001 and 2002. These traces, approximately 1.2 terabytes of binary data, will soon be released for public study in an anonymous form. This paper will discuss the collection methodology, tools, and an analysis showing...; Tags: FDDI, Ohio State University, Ethernet, Fiber Optics, Networking, Telecommunications; White papers 2007-02-05
A Comparative Analysis of High-Speed Switching for Backbone LANs: Fast Ethernet, FDDI, and Fibre Channel: LAN switching has proven its value in boosting available bandwidth while protecting investments in cabling and network interface cards NICs. Backbone LAN switching poses some special requirements compared with departmental LAN switching. Network managers should choose a backbone switching technology based on how it handles different kinds of traffic, how...; Tags: FDDI, Ethernet, Backbone, Fibre Channel, Fast Ethernet, Analysis, LANs, Storage Area Networks (SAN), Network Technology, Networking, Storage, Hardware; White papers
