The bene ts that Virtual LANs o er can be realized by using features of an IPv6 network along with small enhancements the IPv6 and DHCPv6 protocol stacks.

Florida scrub-jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens) in the suburbs breed earlier than jays in native habitat. Amongst the possible factors that influence this advance (e.g., food availability, microclimate, predator regime, etc.), is exposure to artificial lights at night (LAN). LAN could stimulate the reproductive axis of the suburban jays. Alternatively, LAN could inhibit pineal melatonin (MEL), thu...

This paper argues that the [Dat-Acc] and the [Acc-Acc] orders in Korean are the representations of the postpositional dative construction and the double object construction and that their syntactic structures are asymmetric. I apply the same syntactic diagnostics (nominalization and idioms) developed for English by Bruening (2010) to the data in Korean, and discuss in a greater detail that the ...

Applications developed for large-scale heterogeneous environments must address a number of challenges not faced in other networked computer systems such as LAN clusters. We describe some of the problems faced in implementing the PlanetLab Node Manager application and present general guidelines for application developers derived from those problems.

This paper deals with the so-called LAN-Emulation (LAN-E) as specified by the ATMForum, applying the Source Routing Protocol (SRP), which is well known from the Token Ring area. The LAN-E is one possible realisation for the integration of connectionless communication on Local Area Networks (LANs), into the connection oriented Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The routing in those emulated or vi...

A real extended LAN is re-designed by replacing its FDDI backbone with an ATM LAN compliant with version 1.0 of ATM Forum LAN Emulation standard. The designed ATM LAN is studied through two sets of simulations. The results of the first one, characterized by a load level equal to the one measured on the real network, show that the ATM LAN can support the traffic currently present on the real net...

Until recently, it has been difficult to motivate students to learn about serverbased local area network (LAN) design because students find the subject very technical, dry, and boring. A software tool (named LAN-Designer) has been developed at the Auckland University of Technology that gives students an interactive, hands-on experience in server-based LAN design. LAN-Designer is suitable for cl...
