A study examining the quality-adjusted price changes for local network (LAN) equipment using hedonic regressions is presented. While a match model was used for LAN cards, prices for hubs were inferred using economic relationship to switches.

MANY PORTABLE embedded products in the Internet age require a wireless network for access to up-to-date business information, yet developing a radio-frequency link from scratch is a formidable design challenge. [...]

When the Internet was new, the rush was on to get every office wired. But now, the explosive growth of the Web and e-mail has left many organizations tethered to […]

Fueled by widespread use on the desktop, new low-cost hardware, and widespread demand for connectivity, Ethernet is gaining ground as the network of choice for embedded-system developers. You live in [...]

Migrating to a 100-Mbps network has never been easier. The 10/100-Mbps NIC is the key factor in migration because it provides the easiest and most economical route to faster networking. […]

Ethernet is simple, available, inexpensive and it keeps getting faster. Can 'isochronous gigabit per second on linguine' be far behind? By Mary Carmen Cupito Contributing Editor In the beginning was […]

Managers of traditional IBM network environments are seeking greater bandwidth in their token ring networks. To address this requirement many network managers are interested in moving the switch fabric progressively […]

You've got to love stackable workgroup hubs, the comeback kids of network management. Scorned in favor of more powerful and flexible chassis-based modular hubs, they've resurfaced--reinvented, full of new features […]

New high-speed Ethernet-backbone technology is rapidly gaining support among network engineers as a superior approach to exploiting the advances in Internet protocol-based communications that make feature-rich data services possible. Many [...]

As stackable hubs have changed from feature-starved connectivity devices to increasingly sophisticated products, the ranks of the faithful keep growing. In the ancient days of networking (say, around 1992), stackable […]

Spiffy interfaces with flashing lights, beeping buzzers and pretty graphics aren't worth much if you can't retrieve meaningful information from the device, you aren't kept abreast of changing conditions, you […]

Network management has traditionally followed the n+1 development paradigm; this has been particularly true in the ATM WAN industry. In this growing segment, vendors that provide carrier-class backbone switches and […]
