Local area networks(LANs) recently become so large that they exceed their architected limits and users on different LANs may need to talk each other. This trend has led to a growth in the practice of interconnecting many heterogeneous LANs. In this paper, we proposed a method to interconnect Ethernets and token rings, which are widely used today, through a fast FDDI network. We also developed a simulation tool to evaluate the performances of the interconnected networks. We used a simulation language SLAM II for modeling and OSF/MOTIF X-window for user interface. The developed tool can be used to make a decision which interconnecting method is suitable for a given environment before interconnecting many heterogeneous LANs.
