LAT Last modified: Monday, August 05, 2002
Short for Local Area Transport, a DEC proprietary Ethernet protocol for connecting terminals to a LAN. Connections are typically between a DEC terminal server and a VAX. LAT operates at the transport layer. LAT is not routable because it lacks a network layer and therefore must be bridged in an enterprise network instead of routed.
LAT Manual Setup Describes how to manually set up the Local Area Transport.	Related Categories Ethernet Network Protocols Networking Software Networks Related Terms DEC Ethernet protocol VAX
