2.6 Summary
Older master/slave networks are rapidly being replaced by standard LANs which provide better
performance, multi-vendor support, and integration with information networks. Of the current
LAN standards, Token-Ring and Ethernet have the significant market share. Token Bus, because
of the cost and complexity, has never become a major contender for the factory LAN market.

available today. In a properly designed factory network, Ethernet provides excellent
performance, reliability, and manageability. Since Ethernet is used with the 2572, it is discussed
in more detail in the following section.
