Computer Networks. Analysis and a Case Study Design.

Abstract

Computer networks are the outcome of the combination of computer and data communications technologies. Part I of this thesis presents the background of each one of these technologies and exposes analytically the principles of computer networking in particular. In Part II, a preliminary design is developed for the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) time sharing system. The study of Part II leads to a comparative analysis of four network architectures which are suitable for satisfying the needs of the NPS. Those architectures are compared in view of the desirable attributes of accessibility, evolvability, modularity, reliability and ease of operation. The communications requirements are derived and technologies for implementation of the communications links are recommended. (Author)
