The Application of Multiple Processor Computer Systems to Digital Communication Networks.

摘要

This report describe work done to define and implement an experimental facility that emulates the behavior of a single node in an integrated circuit-packet-switching communications network: (1) Identified the functional characteristics of the system, (2) Developed and implemented a task decomposition that performs the different functions of an integrated switch, (3) Developed theoretical switch performance models and (4) Developed a reliability study of the hardware components.
