A large engineering network architecture
B. Smith, B.J. Durham, Bo Hatfield · 2003
An approach that attempts to optimize the network in an engineering environment with large numbers of personal computers, workstations, minicomputers, and windowing terminals using different network protocols and applications is described. The network was made modular and easily reconfigurable so that it could be optimized with minimum cost or user impact. The design and operation of the resulting network are examined.>
