M. Russ, Mike Fisher · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 2003
This chapter has presented a view of what the network infrastructure might look like in the near future. Client terminals with a wide range of capabilities are supported by a rich set of shared computing and content resources. Each time a service is used, a custom combination of content elements, processing and network connections is used. These parts all need to work together to provide a good quality of service to the user.
