Radu Popescu-Zeletin · ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review · 1984
The paper outlines the conceptual and practical aspects encountered in the design and implementation of a heterogeneous computer network based on the standardization output. We discuss the feasability of the reference model and its related standards from a design, implementation and operational point of view focussing on the adopted solutions and their rationales.
