Abstract
The Navy's IT-21 philosophy when applied to the Navy-wide Internet poses a significant problem: how to best adapt to the requirements of the new standard and still make the most of the currently installed network. The integration of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) backbone and desktop networks with legacy equipment and applications is considered in this thesis. The most current solution to this dilemma is the use of Local Area Network Emulation (LANE). The focus of this thesis is the implementation of LANE over a simulated ship-to-shore satellite link. Data throughput is monitored and analyzed to determine the optimum configuration. Testing is conducted to examine the advantages of routed Emulated Local Area Networks (ELANs) and non-routed ELANs. An import scenario that benchmarks the two ELAN configurations against the Ethernet Virtual LANs (VLANs) is discussed
