Modeling an experimental computer communication network
Jeremiah F. Hayes · 1973
This paper reports the results of a performance study of an experimental computer communication network. The network is currently being designed and built in order to test concepts and techniques that may find future application. The network consists of synchronous digital transmission lines connected in loops to a Central Switch. User traffic enters the system through multiplexers connected to the synchronous lines. The Central Switch has the two-fold function of routing and controlling traffic.
