The Only Comprehensive Technical Resource!

The folks at Hewlett-Packard certainly understand 100VG AnyLAN (having invented it after all). For anyone considering implementing this alternative to Fast Ethernet, this book is an essential element to understanding how to properly design a network to take advantage of the features of what HP hoped would be the next evolution in Ethernet and Token Ring. Although few vendors implemented this technology (when compared to Fast Ethernet's deployment), there are still hundreds of thousands of nodes using 100VG AnyLAN today. The book is written in an easy to understand and comprehensive fashion.
