The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the transport mode of choice for B-ISDN. In order for high speed networks to become a reality, a number of performance issues has to be resolved. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ...

Fast message integrity and authentication services are much desired in today's high-speed network protocols. Current message authentication techniques are mostly encryption-based which is undesirable for several reasons. In this brief paper, we ...

We compare the performance of two recently proposed distance-vector algorithms (Merlin-Segall and Extended Bellman-Ford) with a link-state algorithm (SPF), under varying file transfer workload. (Unlike the traditional distance-vector algorithms, these ...

This paper presents a brief introduction to architectures and technologies that probably will be used for wide-area communications. It starts with a review of the structure of today's network and some aspects of the digital transmission systems that ...

A survey which investigated organizational management of telecommunications and the current and future configurations of telecommunications equipment showed some expected results and some surprises. The survey showed that public academic institutions ...
