Abstract: | The research done by the Tenet Group in multimedia networking has reached a point where it may be useful to reflect on the
significance of its results for the current debate on how integrated-services internetworks should be designed. Such reflections
constitute the main subject of this paper. The principles of the work and the conclusions reached so far by the Tenet researchers
are discussed in the light of the conflict between the two major technologies being proposed to build future information infrastructures:
namely, the Internet and the ATM technologies. The Tenet approach suggests one feasible way for resolving the conflict to
the advantage of all the users of those infrastructures. This paper discusses various fundamental aspects of integrated-services
network design: the choice of the service model, the type of charging policy to be adopted, and the selection of a suitable
architecture. |
