This aspect of configuring the LAN and MAN networks to better support individualized, often highly customized configuration for a given group or segment of users is accelerating as well. A case in point is how many enterprises are using video streaming to increase multi-audience broadcasting of their video content for training, marketing or services-related goals (de Mello, Goularte, Dodonov, Yang, Park, Kim, 2009).

Local data centers are often also faced with being configured for use as hybrid, public and private data centers. The necessity of customizing these for a specific need or requirement across a LAN and MAN is leading to the development of high performance protocols that can also scale across multiple network topologies, providing enterprises with greater agility in responding to those suppliers, customers and service teams needing...

Cloud computing is revolutionizing LAN and MAN systems development and performance.
