Abstract
Summary form only given. The broadband network is being deployed today, at least at the backbone level. It is called the World Wide Web. Beginning next year, access technologies will include asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL), capable of handling multi-megabit packet streams. As ADSL is deployed, the backbone will evolve to become all-optical to minimize overall packet delays and delay variation.
