The Practical Impact of Recent Computer Advances on the Analysis and Design of Large Scale Networks

Abstract

This report summarizes studies of local, regional, and large scale data communication network problems. Primary emphasis is placed on system issues and tradeoffs. Areas discussed are packet radio system studies, packet radio system algorithms and control, local and regional data network cost comparisons and alternatives, and integrated large scale packet switched network cost and performance. Studies of multidropped, point-to-point, and broad band cable and radio broadcast systems as well as the impact of satellites on network cost and performance are described.
