Abstract

The paper reviews the problem of routing in a wireless Internet, and discusses a plan that combines wireless network technology with high speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching technology. The combination provides a wireless communication system with sufficient aggregate bandwidth to handle both data transfers and routing updates for a university sized network. More importantly, the paper details why wireless communication is a particularly difficult problem on a university campus, and describes a routing update mechanism that can scale to routing on a large campus
