Abstract :
The paper summarizes the key concepts and developments that have been performed by a small group of enthusiastic people working in the FINE project for the BERKOM activity. It presents the functionality at the service interface, the flexibility of the protocol family and important implementation aspects for high-speed communication systems. It is expected that the results will influence upcoming standards in the area of new transport protocols and service definitions for future broadband communications
