High Speed Networking, III: Proceedings of the IFIP TC 6/WG 6.4 Third International Conference on High Speed Networking, Berlin, Germany, 18-22 March 1991Otto Spaniol, A. Danthine From a user point of view it is obvious that experience in the 100Mbit/sec range is still very limited and that early efforts of deployment have been sometimes rather painful. But the trend is clear and the stabilization of the standards makes researchers confident in a forthcoming evolution which will follow the pace of the Ethernet deployment ten years ago. Yet even if the 100Mbit/sec range is not yet stabilized, there is much continuing effort in the Gigavit and Terabit ranges, where many research claims have been considered as remote dreams. Included in this conference proceedings, are papers dealing with the 100Mbit/sec range, where the standards and the products are coming, and where the integration begins; and state-of-the-art research in the very high speed range from 1 Gigabit/sec up. |
