Abstract

In the past few years the technical feasibility of computer networks has been demonstrated. An examination of the existing networks, however, indicates that they are generally composed of homogeneous machines or are located essentially in one geographical area. The most notable exception to this is the ARPA Network which is widely distributed geographically and which has a variety of computers. The state-of-the-art now appears to be sufficiently far along to allow serious consideration of computer networks which are not experimental in origin and are not university based.
