Abstract

The authors propose a modular network architecture based on MAN (metropolitan area network) technology for the interconnection of bridged LANs (local area networks) situated over a metropolitan area. The proposal is based on the definition of interconnection entities operating like MAC bridges and on a routing strategy which offers interesting efficiency and fault tolerance features which would suggest use in public broadband network environments
