  • Conference paper
High-Capacity Local and Metropolitan Area Networks

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 72))

Abstract

The paper begins with a description of characteristics of High Speed Local Area Networks. Following that the pro’s and con’s of the main standardisation candidates (FDDI, DQDB) are presented together with a comparison of their relative merits. A major part of the manuscript is devoted to the detailed description of lessons learned from a FDDI installation within a heterogeneous environment (the network is to be used as a backbone for the interconnection of university institutes which have different applications as well as different computing facilities). The paper ends with some perspectives and a few speculations for the future of HSLAN development, market potential and acceptance.
