Talk:Local network

Subj: Local Network is a SuperSet of Local Area Network (LAN)

Gentlemen:

In his book, "Local Networks, An Introduction" by Dr. William Stallings, PhD. in Computer Science from M.I.T. in 1971, Copyright (c) 1984, Macmillan Publishing Co., Div. of Mamillan, Inc., on page 2, he defines what a "Local Network" is: "A local network is a communications network that provides interconnection of a variety of data communicating devices within a small area." It is a SuperSet of the "Local Area Network (LAN)"--the page that Wikipedia redirects one to when looking up "Local Network." I think you should get Dr. Stallings to write an article for your "Local Network" page and then redirect from it to all the different kinds of local networks he mentions.

Sincerely yours,
