Abstract

A project was conceived to research and develop gateway systems which will help incorporate new LANs into the campus internet. The research presented is from the first stage of this project, which involved the design, development, implementation and testing of a generic gateway prototype to incorporate a selected campus LAN into the campus internet. The candidate LAN selected was the University of Arizona Sytek broadband network, which includes the Sytek LocalNet 20 and System 2000 networks. How this connection-oriented LAN was incorporated into an IP internet using a router is outlined.<>
