The purpose of this book is to pass on details of the work of developers and researchers in the field of Local Communications Systems Management. The term 'Local Communications Systems' was chosen so as to allow as wide a subject base as possible, and hence not preclude work which may have been taking place on the management of, for example, PABX systems. As a result, the papers cover many aspects of the subject, including LANs, ISDNs and distributed systems management.

Traffic management on Local Area Networks (LANs) is becoming an important issue as workstation and personal computer networking speeds start to outstrip the capacity of current and emerging network technologies. This book discusses the specific tasks facing the site administrators as they try to manage the flow of traffic on their network and adapt the network to cope with changing demands.
