Abstract :
It is pointed out that the high speed of communication links and the altered nature of carried traffic has considerably affected the design and implementation of packet switched networks. The authors explore the effect on the control procedures within the network, specifically focusing on the lessons learned from the prototype PARIS network. The key design philosophy for both the steady-state control and the connection control is described. It is believed that most of the conclusions are general and can be applied to any network, including ATM (asynchronous transfer mode)-based systems
