Abstract: The introduction of the new High-Speed LANs has not only to take into account the integration of the new services but also to provide powerful interconnections with traditional LANs like the ETHERNET. This paper addresses the ETHERNET internetworking solution adopted for a Local Integrated Optical Network (LION). The architecture of this internetworking solution is described, both in hardware and software terms, and the real time requirements are highlighted, describing the implemented system. Finally, the Gateway performance analysis is given and the selection of the implementation parameters becomes obvious.
