Abstract
This thesis is a telecommunications internetworking and integration tutorial for
command, control, and communications (C3) students, and is intended to supplement
coursework material at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). It is particularly
relevant to students pursuing the internetworking area of emphasis in the C3
curriculum. In order to recognize and tap the potential of internetworking and
integration for military applications, C3 students must be "internetworking literate."
The objective of this thesis is to help develop that literacy and to serve as a technical
reference for understanding terms, standards and concepts associated with the
complex field of telecommunications internetworking. As the ultimate Department
of Defense (DoD) telecommunications goal is the full integration of voice, data and
imagery services, internetworking is looked upon as an essential process on the road to integration. To establish the relevance to U.S. warfighting capability, this thesis
describes how internetworking and integration are critical elements of the "C4I for
the Warrior" initiative. With this warfighting connection kept in mind, definitions
and illustrations present the technical aspects of telecommunications internetworking
and integration.
