[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] IEEE 802.3 wiring and permitted parts counts

efb@suned1.Navy.MIL (Everett F Batey II) (04/12/90)

I am told there is a doc called the ethernet green book .. defines 
sizes, pieces, repeaters, times etc. for proper combining of the
components of an ethernet.  Can someone direct me to an anon-ftp
equivalent of the care-and-feeding for a properly grown ethernet.

Like max equal size segments, repeaters, fiber, transceiver or 
fiber tiers, max pieces.  Need something beyond the DEC Networking
guide .. we are getting slower and slower without any substantial 
apparent traffic volumes .. folks in our net have wild card mixes
of BackBone, Transceiver, Thin, Fiber, Twisted, Multiports, Repeaters
and Bridges .. in the worlds wildest topology .. both 802.3 protos
from HPs and standard old ethernet packets.

Any download source clues will be welcomed. /Ev/
