Abstract :
To fully realise the promise of emerging high speed networks we need: high bandwidth applications; networking standards; and networking services based on those standards. Two service models are being pursued to support high speed multimedia applications: IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and ATM (asynchronous transfer mode). The authors compare these models. They then discusses the future activities of the Computer Communications Technical Committee in this regard
