Computer Communications: Ideas and Trends

Abstract

Broadband Integrated Service Digital Network (BISDN) is an emerging high speed telecommunication standard for the next generation of high-sped wide- and local-area networks. This method of information transfer will not only change the way computers communicate but also will change the way we solve problems. Within this paper we detail our vision the way high-speed communication networks will be organized and will operate. We will then outline some of the effect these high speed networks will have on the communications protocol stack.
