AN EXPERIMENTAL COMPUTER NETWORK

Abstract

The concept of a computer network is reviewed. Within such a network, a user at any one installation has immediate access to the hardware, software, and data at all other installations. The various installations need not be program-compatible. The implementation of a small experimental network based on these concepts is discussed. The details of the implementation and the experience gained in the operation of this experimental network are described.
