Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a method of controlling the flow of traffic on the information highway. A new network protocol, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, is being developed to support applications that will run on the infohighway. These applications will include current data transfers such as surfing the net and carrying local area network traffic across the country, but it will also support things like video on demand, distance learning, and video conferencing.
