The multi‐LAN concept is a newly evolved approach to LAN internetworking that realizes multiple advantages over classical solutions while incorporating all of their desirable properties. The multi‐LAN access manager possesses the simplicity, protocol transparency and performance of bridging techniques and most of the security capabilities and packet‐switching network capabilities afforded by routing techniques, coupled with an evolutionary leap in performance. In addition, the multi‐LAN access manager supports a centralized, comprehensive, network management and diagnostic capability.
