Design Issues for High Speed Local Network Protocols,

Abstract

With recent advances in optical fiber technology, it is now feasible to consider data communication systems with speeds up to 1000 Mb/s. Because of their high bandwidth, low delay, and low error rate characteristics, optical fiber communication systems seem to provide an almost ideal transmission medium for high speed local networks. This paper deals with the implications of the use of fiber optics in the design of high speed local network protocols. (Author)
