Abstract

The pace of change in high-speed networking has been exceptionally fast in the last ten years. We discuss several general categories of contemporary solutions for high-speed data networking within a campus. The solutions are contrasted in several dimensions advantages and disadvantages are reviewed and guidelines to assist a campus in selecting the best approach for its individual needs are suggested. While FDDI and other emerging standards are the focus of media attention these days proprietary techniques optimized for real-time traffic still suit many applications best.
