Multimedia data streams will form a major part of the new generation of applications in high-speed networks. Continuous media streams, however, require transmission with guaranteed performance. In addition, many multimedia applications will require peer-to-multipeer communication. Guaranteed performance can only be provided with resource reservation in the network, and efficient multipeer communication must be based on multicast support in the lower layers of the network.
Architecture and Protocols for High-Speed Networks focuses on techniques for building the networks that will meet the needs of these multimedia applications. In particular two areas of current research interest in such communication systems are covered in depth. These are the protocol related aspects, such as switched networks, ATM, MAC layer, network and transport layer; and the services and applications.
Architecture and Protocols for High-Speed Networks contains contributions from leading world experts, giving the most up-to-date research available. It is an essential reference for all professionals, engineers and researchers working in the area of high-speed networks.

About the author

Otto Spaniol (Jahrgang 1945) gehört zu den Informatikern 'der ersten Stunde' (oder vielleicht etwas bescheidener ausgedrückt: "des zweiten Monats") in Deutschland. Während des Mathe- und Physikstudium diffundierte er unter Anleitung seines Lehrmeisters Günter Hotz in die damals noch nicht offiziell existierende Informatik. Seine GI-Mitgliedsnummer (59) ist schon beinahe unwirklich niedrig. Nach einer Assistenzprofessur in Saarbrücken wurde er 1976 auf eine C3- Professur nach Bonn berufen und im Jahr 1981 auf den Lehrstuhl für Betriebssysteme an der Universität Frankfurt/Main. Durch seine Bonner Zeit zum Wahlrheinländer mutiert, zog es ihn in diese Gegend zurück. Seit 1984 war er bis zur Emeritierung im Jahr 2010 Inhaber des Lehrstuhls Kommunikation und verteilte Systeme an der RWTH Aachen. Die Absurditäten des täglichen Informatikwahnsinns veranlassten ihn schon früh zur Abfassung von manchmal recht bösartigen Glossen - meist unter dem Pseudonym "Alois Potton" (was genauer betrachtet ein Anagramm seines Namens ist).
