Protocols for High-speed Networks: Selected and Revised Papers from the IFIP WG 6.1/WG 6.4 International Workshop on Protocols for High-Speed Networks, Zurich, Switzerland, 9-11 May, 1989, Volume 1Harry Rudin, Robin Williamson The purpose of this book is to discuss some of the issues involved in the design and implementation of protocols - particularly protocols above the medium access layer - that are able to exploit the full potential of local-area and optical-fiber networks. The main issue in this area continues to be whether or not new protocols are necessary. On the one hand, a number of new high-speed'' protocols have been invented. On the other hand, some recent work shows that clever tuning and implementation of existing protocol architectures can also deliver high throughput and quick response times. The papers presented in this book shed some light on the issue. |
