ENGINEERING RESEARCH EQUIPMENT GRANT: A Testbed for ComputerNetworks and Communication Protocols

获得了用于七层宽带局域网（LAN）试验台的设备。该试验台将用于网络控制算法和通信协议的实时实验验证，这些算法和协议已在理论上开发和/或通过仿真研究进行分析。该试验台旨在支持集成数据通信和人员间信息处理（即集成数据、语音、视频、图形和传真）领域的实验和理论研究，适用于自动化工厂的所有级别。该试验台还将为私营和政府部门的本地和长途网络提供类似的研究活动。

Equipment is obtained for a seven-layer, broadband local area network (LAN) testbed. The testbed will be used for real-time experimental verificatio of network control algorithms and communication protocols that have been theoretically developed and/or analyzed by simulation studies. The testbed is intended to support both experimental and theoretical research in the field of integrated data communications and inter-personnel information processing (i.e., integrated data, voice, video, graphics, and facsimile) as applied to all levels of the automated factory. The testbed will also support similar research activities for local and long-haul networks in both private and government sectors.
