Supply Point Logistics Integrated Communications Environment (SPLICE) Local Area Computer Network Design Issues for Communications

摘要

This thesis examines the topology and transmission mediums for a local computer network to support interconnection of heterogeneous computing devices within the Supply Point Logistics Communications Environment (SPLICE). A topology and appropriate network protocols for management of the intranetwork communications are recommended. Additionally, a protocol to ensure proper delivery of messages which must pass outside the local network to reach another SPLICE configuration via an interconnecting network is discussed. (Author)
