High Performance Networking, V (IFIP Transactions C: Communication Systems)

New developments in the framework of high-speed networking and computing are presented in this volume. The book focuses on new mechanisms, protocols, services and architectures derived from the need of emerging distributed multimedia applications, as well as from the requirements of the new communication environments. The contributions show that topics of most interest are moving to higher layers and application purposes, although some transmission and interconnection issues are still important.
