Shared VLAN

VLANs provide an effective mechanism to control these changes and
reduce much of the cost of hub and router reconfiguration. VLAN users
can share the same network address space regardless of location. If a
group of VLAN users move but remain in the same VLAN connected to
a switch port, their network address does not change.

Shared Internet connectivity makes strong business sense. It is more
efficient, easier to manage and much less expensive than providing
each user with a separate modem, phone line and Internet account.
Moreover, if you select an Internet access solution that supports NAT
(Network Address Translation), you can provide your entire office with
Internet access using a single ISP (Internet service provider) account.
Every employee will have Internet access, but the ISP will “see” your
entire office as only one person. As a result, you save money by
avoiding ISP accounts for each employee and new users have Internet
access with no additional cost when they attach to the LAN.

Shared Ethernet
In the old days, Ethernet networks were shared networks, using shared
media or hubs to connect the Ethernet nodes together, meaning all
packets could be received by all nodes on that network. Therefore, if
an Ethernet adapter on such a network is put into promiscuous mode,
all packets on the network will be seen by that adapter and thus can
be captured with that adapter.

Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS)
The SNI is the interface between CPE and carrier equipment. This
interface is the point at which the customer network ends and the
carrier network begins. The function of the SNI is to render the
technology and operation of the carrier SMDS network transparent to
the customer.
