The description of a Network Management Package (NMP) for Packet Communications Units (PCUs) in a Local Area Network (LAN) is presented. The LAN consists of a Sytek LocalNet 20, a Sytek System 2000, a Sytek System 6000, and a Concord Data Systems Token/Net. The NMP accesses and controls the local and remote PCUs on the networks. The communication interface software module is responsible for opening and closing the session between the PC and PCU ports. The NMP supports a set of operations used by a network manager to control and manage the network PCUs. The user uses the NMP to integrate each PCU and check and set its attributes. The NMP was developed to run in the Computer Engineering Research Laboratory and in the University of Arizona broadband cable plant. The NMP allows different PCUs (local or remote) to check and modify PCU's attributes while users work on their own PCUs. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)

Approved for public release, distribution unlimited / This thesis will focus on academia, specifically the Naval Postgraduate School, and its requirement to implement an education program that allows facilitators to properly inform future students on the gradual implementation of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) technology while phasing out Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) from the current curriculum as the transition to IPv6 progresses. The DoD's current goal is to complete the transition of all DoD networks from IPv4 to IPv6 by fiscal year 2008. With this deadline quickly approaching, it is imperative that a plan to educate military and DoD personnel be implemented in the very near future. It is my goal to research and suggest a program that facilitators can use that will show the similarities, changes, advantages, and challenges that exist for the transition. / US Marine Corps (USMC) author.

Social mix is a highly contested global trend in urban planning as it can result in some of the same negative social consequences as gentrification, such as displacement and social polarization. In 2014, the City of Vancouver approved a social mix strategy for one of its low-income neighbourhoods in their Downtown Eastside (DTES) Local Area Plan (LAP). With this plan, the city aimed to increase mid- and high-income residents in a predominately low-income neighbourhood. Included were Social Impact Objectives to mitigate harm to existing low-income residents, and assurances the approach would benefit all community members. The LAP provoked questions of whether social mix could, indeed, benefit low-income residents. This qualitative single-case research study investigates the experiences of residents with low incomes in the DTES neighbourhood, three years after the implementation of the LAP. The study is grounded in an anti-oppressive framework, with attention to anti-colonization and the unique experiences at the intersection of gender and colonial oppression. Three key findings emerged from neighbourhood observations and semi-structured focus groups conducted in 2017 with twenty-four research participants. First, experiences of displacement in the DTES were reported; second, experiences of social polarization within their neighbourhood were described; and, third, most participants demonstrated strong community connections despite the social mix changes. The findings suggest low-income residents did not benefit from social mix and, if further displacement and polarization were to continue, the negative impact on low-income residents would increase. / Graduate
