Computer B (NAS-NAS) Communications Support.

Abstract

An analysis has been performed to determine the feasibility and desirability of incorporating into NADIN the message traffic currently serviced by the Computer B (NAS-NAS) Network. The use of NADIN to support NAS-NAS communications was found to be feasible and cost-effective. The most attractive approach to such support was found to be the enhancement of the NADIN architecture, using packet-switching technology, to provide virtual circuit and alternate routing capabilities between all NADIN backbone modes. The results of this analysis are to serve as inputs to other tasks under this contract that will investigate a consolidated NADIN enhancement approach for supporting future FAA data communications requirements, including enhancements to support the replacement of FAA's enroute computer system, and the Remote Maintenance Monitoring System.
