home and many business computers to the telephone company. To
reduce crosstalk or electromagnetic induction between pairs of wires,

locations require multiple connections, twisted pair is sometimes installed
in two or more pairs, all within a single cable.

Virtual LAN - Membership to a Virtual LAN is defined administratively
independent of the physical network topology. A virtual LAN segment is a
