Abstract :
Aspects and functions of an integrated-service multichannel network are analyzed. The interaction between technological constraints and network architecture is discussed. A management scheme fully compatible with open systems interconnection is presented. This scheme shows the increased flexibility of a multichannel integrated network, which is derived from the possibility of reconfiguring the network and of automatically balancing the traffic between different channels
