Abstract

This chapter provides design data and brief descriptions of the comparatively mature technology involved in wide area (data) networking as a whole. A brief review is given on the concept of statmultiplexers and the X.25 protocol. Much of the chapter deals with the ever popular TCP/IP. IP version 6 is then reviewed, followed by two transport protocols: TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). This is followed by a short discussion of CLNP (Connectionless Network Protocol). The concept of VSAT (very small aperture terminal) satellite data networks is covered, as well as a short discussion of the ITU-T Hypothetical Reference Connection.
