Peterson,Jack J., Veit,Sandra A. · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1971
The paper presents the results of a survey of state-of-the-art computer networks. It identifies ten major networks: ARPA, COINS, CYBERNET, the Distributed Computer Systems, DLS, MERIT, Network/440, Octopus, TSS, and TUCC and outlines their capabilities and design. A tabular presentation of the most significant network features and a brief discussion of networks that were examined but rejected for the survey are also included. (Author)
