Design of User Friendly Protocol to Effect a Transparent Internetwork Transaction Facility through SPLICE (Stock Point Logistics Integrated Communications Environment) and the Defense Data Network.

Abstract

This thesis explores transparent internetwork connectivity requirements for SPLICE (Stock Point Logistics Integrated Communications Environment). SPLICE nodes shall be interconnected via the DDN (Defense Data Network) to form a wide area network supporting distributed processing. Implementation problems, short and long-term requirements for user terminal to server host transparent connectivity, electronic mail, and process to process internetworking connectivity are presented. Distributed processing through implementation of a DDS (Directory/Dictionary System) is explored. MILSTRIP requisition referral by Stock Points through distributed processing is presented. Implementation of Tandem Corporation's EXPAND/X.25 protocols versus DDN TCP/IP and higher level DDN protocols are discussed. Packet switching, the CCITT X.25 and X.75 protocol standards, and an overview of the DDN TCP/IP protocols are offered in the Appendices. (Author)
