Abstract
In this paper we first survey briefly the state of the art in current telecommunication networks. We then focus on ATM-based broadband integrated networks of the near future. Examples include the IEEE 802.6 DQDB metropolitan area network standard and Bellcore’s Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), which uses the 802.6 protocol and ATM at its lowest layers. Looking further into the future it is projected that lightwave- (fiber optic-) based networks may be deployed running at Gbps and Tbps rates. These very high speed networks introduce critical problems of management and control. These include the design of end-to-end lean (lightweight) protocols; access, flow and congestion control; and the real-time detection and identification of network faults when they occur. Some representative ongoing work at Columbia in each of these areas is described, with a hope that it may stimulate additional work elsewhere.
Work carried out under the support of National Science Foundation grant CDR 88-11111 and ONR grant N00014-90-J-1289.
