Integrated DoD Voice and Data Networks and Ground Packet Radio Technology Volume 1. Integrated DoD Voice and Data Networks. Part 1
Abstract
New research results on the following major questions are reported: Results on integrated DOD Voice and Data Networks include: analytical models for determining blocking and delay on an integrated link and numerical investigation as a function of traffic and design variables; algorithms for integrated network design were developed and programmed. The program is capable of designing networks for voice traffic, signaling and data traffic. A circuit switch model for determining switch and network transit delays for circuit connection set-up was developed. A methodology for classification of telecommunications routing algorithms was developed. Results on topological gateway placement include an algorithm and program for interconnecting packet switched networks, studies of cost/performance tradeoffs, and an application to interconnect the ARPANET and AUTODIN 2. In the packet radio area models were developed to estimate network initialization as a function of number of repeaters, transmission rates of repeaters and station, and operation disciplines. Finally, cost trends for large volume packet switched data networks are derived which incorporate switching and transmission costs, satellite and terrestrial channels and local distribution.
