CISE Research Instrumentation: High Data Rate Network Research

该合同提供资金，利用现有的光纤电缆建立一个FDDI局域网，并配备网络分析仪和逻辑分析仪接口。该局域网将支持以下研究项目：基于速率的流量控制的排队和控制理论算法、高性能网络互操作性建模、应用网络交互对高数据速率网络性能的影响、分布式系统上的多媒体信息、以及用于VSAT互联网络的高性能FDDI网络。将购买设备组装一个校园范围的光纤分布式数据接口（FDDI）网络，以支持实验通信研究，并为分布式多媒体提供一个测试平台。支持的研究项目包括开发和实现一种新的局域网速率控制算法，互操作性建模，基于高数据速率局域网的分布式系统的优化组织和性能，以及网络辅助构建和访问数字多媒体信息。

This award provides funds to build an FDDI LAN using existing fiber cable, with network analyzer and logic analyzer interface. This local area network will support research projects in queuing and control theoretic algorithms for rate based flow control, high- performance network interoperability modelling, impact of application-network interaction on high data rate network performance, multimedia information on a distributed system, and high performance FDDI networks for VSAT internetworking. Equipment will be purchased to assemble a campus-wide Fiber Distributed-Data Interface (FDDI) network to support experimental communications research as well as to provide a testbed for distributed multimedia. Research projects supported include the development and implementation of a new rate control algorithm for local area networks (LAN), interoperability modeling, optimal organization and performance of distributed systems based on high data rate LAN's, and network-aided construction and access to digital multimedia information.
