This thesis highlights the need for specific guidance and
standards in the U. S. Marine Corps local area network ( LAN)
specification and selection process. Media, topologies,
components, access methods, protocols, standards and other
technologies are used to characterize the current technical
environment. A strategy for LAN specification and selection
is presented. This strategy stresses top-down, user
requirement, protocol performance oriented techniques vice
the bottom-up, technical design selection oriented techniques
in use today. Thorough documentation of user
requirements, higher-level services, higher-level protocols,
and an information and networking strategy along with other
considerations like facilities/support, expected general
performance, network management, and security is the method
proposed for preparation of a complete specification
document. A centrally coordinated U. S. Marine Corps specification
and design database is also proposed to ensure
future interoperability, connectivity, and support.
