Abstract :
Local area network (LAN) standards and guidelines developed by members of a company-wide IBM LAN Council are described. These guidelines and standards were developed for the internal IBM community from February, 1990, to the present. The resulting documentation has been distributed to many IBM customers. Based on the work of the LAN Council, a company-wide process for maintaining naming and addressing standards and central registration was established. The names and addresses include those for NetBIOS, Lotus Notes, AS/400, WordPerfect Office, and TCP/IP
