Abstract
The conversion into a new Local Area Network (LAN) environment without clear analysis of the problems with the conventional LAN environment nay bring about some improvement of performance, but in general, the result would not be as good as expected. Besides, in case new traffic or application programs are added In the near future, traffic overload similar to the past may incur. Therefore, the conversion into a new LAN environment should not only relieve the problems with the conventional environment but also be able to cope with future expansion of the network flexibly. In the present paper, in view of the above, the problems with protocols and traffic that may occur in the Bus-structured 10/100 Mbps shared Ethernet that has been widely used by many institutions are reviewed, and as a case study whether such conversion into a new LAN environment in order to increase the efficiency in the operation, management, and utilization of the network would be proper for the actual operational environment is implemented, and the results are analyzed.
