Abstract
Gives a survey of the ongoing gigabit testbeds in the U.S. and other countries. This is followed by a review of the recent progress in SONET- and ATM-based gigabit networking technologies, and a projection of the technology trends in the near future. The author also discusses the potential opportunities and challenges of migrating the ongoing experimental gigabit testbeds to an ubiquitous and highly reliable National Information Infrastructure.
