Howard Frank · 1974
Abstract : New research results on the following major questions are reported: Growth and cost performance tradeoffs for the ARPANET, traffic sensitivity analyses with measured traffic and with possible ILLIAC IV traffic effects and ARPANET capacity expansion. Initial cost, delay, throughput and reliability analyses for a 1000 node packet switched network based on ARPANET technology. Development of efficient algorithms for location and line layout for local and regional access to Terminal Interface Processors. The development of an interactive data handling system based on an IMLAC display and distributed ARPANET computation. Study of flow control, routing and time delay and system organization for broadcast packet systems.
