This paper presents a new broadband LAN/MAN architecture, called INFONET. INFONET is based on a unidirectional bus (UB) physical topology; in this structure each type of traffic uses a different logical topology and a different transfer technique as well. For isochronous traffic (V traffic), e.g. video and PCM voice, a synchronous transfer mode, operating on a logical ring structure, has been selected; whereas a logical bus topology and ATM are associated to the non-isochoronous traffic (0 traffic), e.g. data and packetized voice.
