Networking Standards

In March 2004, JANET(UK) and the RBC Technical Group, produced a series of guidance documents covering Network Design, Network Security and Videoconferencing. This work was funded by the Department for Education and Skills via Becta.

• Network Design
• Network Security
• Videoconferencing  

These documents should be of interest to four principal audiences:

• Staff in schools involved with their school's internal network;

• LA or RBC staff designing, building or operating their wide area network; also those coordinating the networking activities of schools;

• Suppliers and service providers involved in the provision and management of local or regional schools' networks;

• Content providers who are making bodies of media-rich materials available to schools online.

Information on Videoconferencing Standards, including the E.164 addressing scheme, is also available
