Description
The workshop from which these papers originate intended to present the state of the art within the High Speed Local Area Networks (HSLAN) area as well as to give directions for the solution of unsolved problems. Some of the most important questions were: - Which applications for HSLAN? - When will products appear on the market at a more reasonable price? - Which performance is required for connecting stations i.e. will the limited terminal capacity result in serious bottlenecks (as in some established lower speed LAN)? - Are HSLAN the adequate solution for LAN subnetwork interconnection? - Will interconnected HSLAN extend to metropolitan area networks (MAN)? - Will wideband ISDN and its associated PBX make HSLAN concepts obsolete? Results showed that there is enormous progress in concept development and in understanding of specific problems arising in the HSLAN environment. Performance aspects have become much clearer, too.
