There has been an increasing evolution of local computer networks in recent years, designed to provide digital communications among locally distributed users. Many of the prototype systems have been aimed at the same rough design targets: —providing a total bandwidth of one to five megabits per second, —serving a community of several hundred stations, and —spanning a distance of about a kilometer, in a building or small campus environment. A major objective has been to take advantage of increasing computing capability—particularly in single user, powerful personal computers—while exploring alternative architectures for distributing various computing functions and applications.
