Abstract

This paper describes the Metrobridge project - a distributed switch for connecting PC cards via a high-speed ATM-style backbone network. Initially the system architecture is outlined, then certain aspects are examined in more detail. Topics discussed include learning and routing algorithms, access/routing control, management functions, and applications.
