Per l’esame di “Sistemi per l’elaborazione dell’informazione: Reti” (anche detto molto semplicemente “Reti”) mi é stata assegnata la stesura di una tesina da x pagine, con 10 < x < 20 pagine. L’argomento? VLAN. Ho inziato da 2 giorni circa la stesura: quell che é certo, é che sarà difficile tenersi sotto le 20 pagine. Sono partito, ovviamente, da Wikipedia (inglese, dove c’é veramente tanta roba): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlan.
