Abstract
In the 1980s, computer network transmission speeds steadily evolved from the 10 Mbits/sec of Ethernet to the 100 Mbits/sec of the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). In the 1990s we expect to see the deployment of gigabit/sec wide area networks such as the National Research and Education Network (NREN) in the United States and the BERKOM network in Germany. ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks are envisioned that will bring this tremendous network capacity directly to the desktop for use by engineering workstations.
