Management Considerations in moving from a 10Mbit LAN to a 100 Mbit LAN

Our university is preparing to introduce a 100Mbit/s campus backbone. The current position has been heavily influenced by the resource mechanism used by central government. It has led to the creation of JANET, a country-wide X25 academic network, and the adoption of the same protocol standards on our 10Mbit/s LAN. A JANET upgrade to 2Mbit/s is in hand and a 3 year local university 100Mbit/s LAN programme has started, with most sites opting for FDDI.
