Local-Area Networks (LANs) use digital data communication technologies to connect workstations and storage devices across multiple locations. LAN technology has progressed rapidly since its introduction in the 1980s, with new interfaces and techniques enabling systems to keep up with the growing use of multimedia and distributed applications in workgroups. This paper presents an overview of LAN technologies and how they have developed since the 1980s and discusses techniques and tools for testing LAN performance.
