Alternative Network Strategies for Defense ADP Communications.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a cost-evaluation study of alternative Defense Communication network strategies. In this study, the terminal and traffic requirements of 35 ADP systems are considered, and the problems of designing the data networks which accommodate these requirements at minimum cost is addressed. The goal of the study is to identify the communications line and hardware costs associated with the array of feasible methods for implementing each system requirement. The system options considered can be placed in two categories: systems without switching and integrated packet switched systems.
