Issues in gigabit networking
R. Binder · 2003
The focus is on achieving gigabit/second rates between network endpoints, based on the use of emerging near-term technology. The topics covered are network multiplexing, striping, congestion control, internetworking, host protocols and interfacing, and the networking of applications at gigabit speeds. These areas are being addressed by researchers in five gigabit testbeds, a collaborative effort involving universities, national laboratories, industry, and the government. The examples cited are drawn primarily from work associated with these testbeds.>
