Publisher's Synopsis
High Speed Local Area Networks (HSLAN) have a comparatively high raw data capacity. In the next decade, systems with capacities of 100 to 200 Megabit/sec seem inevitable. This book brings together work on various aspects of HSLANs, including: - transmission technologies and high-speed devices, including VLSI - synchronized vs. non-synchronized framing - protocols in HSLANs - standardization - performance management - management aspects - interconnection - gateway from HSLANs to broadband ISDN including fast packet switching - applications of HSLANs - applications on HSLANs.
