'The world of information processing is going through a major phase
of its evolution. Networking has been associated with computers
since the 1960's. Communicating machines, exchanging information or
cooperating to solve complex problems, were the dream of many
scientists and engineers. Rudi mentary networks and protocols were
invented. Local area networks capable of carrying a few megabits
per second became basic components of corporate computing
installations in the 1980's. At the same time, advances in optical
transmission and switching technologies made it possible to
transfer billions of bits per second. 'The availability of this
huge bandwidth is making people wonder about the seemingly
unlimited possibilities of these "fat information pipes" A new
world where all interesting up-to-date information becomes
instantaneously available to everyone everywhere is often portrayed
to be around the comer. New applications are envisioned and their
requirements are defined. 'The new field of High Performance
Networking is burgeoning with activities at various levels. Several
frontiers are being explored simultaneously. In order to achieve
more bandwidth and better performance, work is progressing in
optical transmission, high speed switching and network resource
manage ment. Some researchers have started to investigate
all-optical networking as a promising approach to remove the
relatively slow electronics from the network infrastructure. This
will also introduce a new environment with unique characteristics
that will have a definite impact on network architec tures,
topologies, addressing schemes, and protocols.
