Abstract:
Xunet 2 is an experimental wide-area network that serves as a testbed for research on data communications techniques. The authors provide an overview of the architecture of the Xunet 2 testbed. Xunet 2 has three principal components: routers, switches and network management systems. Long-haul transmission between them will initially use DS3 facilities. Performance objectives for the backbone have been set to cover a wide range of transmission speeds. Each router attaches a local area network to the backbone network. The backbone network provides virtual circuit connectivity between the routers. Circuit setup and teardown is done by a control computer associated with each switch, and the network as a whole will be managed by a network management station in the network operations center.<>
