Abstract :
An extensive technical trial of ATM technology and related applications was conducted in the state of Oregon during the months of April 1994 through March 1995. In a joint effort between US WEST, the Oregon Joint Graduate Schools of Engineering, and the NERO Project, five widely dispersed graduate level engineering schools in western Oregon were interconnected via a network of five ATM switches and associated OC3c and DS3 lines. A diverse set of applications was tested as part of this trial. The paper documents the results of the experimentation in the areas of desktop video teleconferencing and collaboration, delivery of educational video to the desktop, and desktop access to multi-media servers
