4 unusual facts about Local area network


GG45

The GG45 (where GG stands for GigaGate, and 45 is to remind the backward compatibility with the 8P8C modular connector - often colloquially called RJ45) is a connector for high-speed Category 7 cable (generally known as Cat 7) LAN cabling developed by Nexans.

Local area network

Although this market segment is now much reduced, the technologies developed in this area continue to be influential on the Internet and in both Linux and Apple Mac OS X networking—and the TCP/IP protocol has now almost completely replaced IPX, AppleTalk, NBF, and other protocols used by the early PC LANs.

Telco cable

A telco cable, also known as a Telecom cable or Amphenol cable, is a thick cable used for connecting multiple voice or data lines for LANs or telecommunications.

WD Anywhere Access

Both client formats can connect to the server, across a LAN or across the Internet, after first connecting to MioNet.


Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance

The ITU-T G.hn standard, which provides a way to create a high-speed (up to 1 Gigabit/s) local area network using existing home wiring (power lines, phone lines and coaxial cables), uses CSMA/CA as a channel access method for flows that don't require guaranteed quality of service, specifically the CSMA/CARP variant.

CCIE Certification

A CCIE in routing and switching specializes in a variety of LAN/WAN networking technologies and protocols related to global network operations such as spanning-tree, advanced switching concepts, IGPs, BGP, IP multicast, IPv6, network security, QoS, MPLS, IOS services and more...

Desktop alert

The client is either an opt-in software product, for example an RSS reader, or an Enterprise-Class software product in a local area network (LAN).

DiMenna–Nyselius Library

Steady technological improvements continued to augment the library-a CD-ROM reference center in 1990 thanks to the Gladys Brooks Foundation; a CD-ROM LAN in 1991 thanks to grants from the E.L. Cord Foundation and the George I. Alden Trust; an online public access catalog in 1993; and a computer lab with 25 workstations in 1997.

Instant computer support

This was made possible due to the remote software available to the technician that allowed them to remotely connect to any company PC at any time and the fact that the employees’ computers were all on a LAN (Local Area Network) which could provide sufficient bandwidth for a remote connection to function properly.

Internet in Sweden

In Sweden, household broadband is mainly available through cable (in speeds of 128 kbit/s to 1 Gbit/s), ADSL (256 kbit/s to 30 Mbit/s) and VDSL (256 kbit/s to 60 Mbit/s), but in many places also through copper Ethernet LAN networked via fibre MANs connecting buildings.

Judith Estrin

After Stanford she worked at Zilog Corporation, where she contributed to the design of the Z8 and Z8000 microprocessors and led the team that developed one of the first commercial local area network systems called Z-net.

LUSerNet

LUSerNet (pronounced Loser Net, roughly standing for Lancaster University Student Network) is a free peer-to-peer package for use on local area networks, developed between the end of 2001 and late 2002 by a Lancaster University first year Computer Science student known as 'bramp'.

Software Publishing Corporation

Starting with the second versions of the Professional Write, Professional File and Professional Plan trio, a separately-purchased Professional series networking add-on (available in 5-user, 10-user and larger packs) could be obtained so that they could all function in a multi-user local area networking (LAN) environment utilizing rudimentary file locking (but not record locking) via NetBIOS on such as Novell's NetWare, or Banyan VINES.

YAGO

YAGO (Yet Another Gigabit Operation) was an early LAN startup acquired by Cabletron Systems in the mid-1990s, fueling its growth into Gigabit Ethernet switching and ultimately being re-spun off into the entity Riverstone Networks.
