| Résumé : |
Distributed data processing is a computing philosophy digital introduced and popularized. For over 20 years, digital has been developing products that bring computing power right into people's work areas, whether these be offices, labs, or factory floors. Digital has made it possible for people to use computing resources from terminals on their desks, rather than depend on a computer in an isolated room. The corporation's wide range of communications products testifies to its commitment to bringing computing power to user locations, where the resources are most needed.
Introduction to DEC-net and the Digital Network Architecture (DNA) discusses DNA the model of structure and function upon which Digital's communications products are based and the various implementations of DEC-net Digital's family of networking software. This handbook introduces readers to the capabilities of the following new products:
o DEC-net-VAX
o DEC-net-RSX (RSX-HM, RSX-HM-PLUS, and Rsx-lls)
o DEC-net-20
o DEC-net-10
The handbook introduces readers to the following new Phase IV concepts and products:
1 PRO/DEC-net
o Ethernet and related hardware
o DEC-net/SNA Gateway (for VAX/VMS and Rsx-11 systems)
o DEC-net Terminal Server 1 DEC-net Router Server DEC-net Router/x.25 Gateway
o Observer
Introduction to DEC-net and the Digital Network Architecture (DNA) describes the concepts and capabilities of DEC-net networks. A DEC-net network consists of two or more Digital computer systems, enhanced with DEC-net software and linked by physical channels or communication lines. Systems in a DEC-net network can communicate with each other and share resources. Products are also available that enable DEC-net systems to communicate with other network entities, such as IBM SNA mainframes and packet-switched data networks (PSDNS).
DEC-net networks can be local area or wide area configurations or configurations that include wide area and local area networks.
All implementations of DEC-net (DEC-net VAX, PRO/DEC-net, and DEC-net-Rsx, for example) embody the same network concepts. The specific capabilities of a DEC-net network depend on the type of system participating in the network and on the network's application. The objectives of this handbook are:
To describe the common DNA network concepts behind all implementations of DEC-net
To identify the major network functions that DEC-net provides. |
