2.6 Technology Standards

Technology Standards

TCP/IP

In order to address the needs of future client/server and intranet technologies, Sabah.Net and all attached services (e.g., local area networks, video conferencing, etc.) will use the TCP/IP protocol.

Ethernet Topology

Ethernet is the media of choice for local area connectivity for all new sites. Current sites where there are other topologies will convert to Ethernet when feasible.

Internet/ Intranet Technology

With the advent of web browsers and their continuing evolution, they are able to support graphics, audio and video, in addition to data and text, and are fairly easy to use for the dissemination and publishing of information.
