ON DISTRIBUTED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS,

Abstract

The survival of digital communication networks using links of less than perfect reliability in event of a physical attack is discussed. The use of redundant links between distributed communication centers is used to achieve distributed networks, interconnecting more centers with one another. The plan is analogus to present telephone plant switching networks.
