Demonstration of a generic gateway for Ethernet connectivity: A Sytek to Ethernet IP router
Paul Gerard Charette · UA Campus Repository (The University of Arizona) · 1990
The University of Arizona Campus Internet consists of numerous Local Area Networks (LANs) attached to an Ethernet backbone. Any campus LAN which cannot interconnect with this backbone is effectively isolated. The generic gateway project was conceived to research and develop gateway systems which will help incorporate new LANs into the campus internet. The work presented here is the design, development, implementation and testing of a gateway for a selected campus LAN. The candidate LAN which was selected was the University of Arizona Sytek broadband network, which includes the Sytek LocalNet 20 and System 2000 networks.
