Abstract :
The author discusses some of the protocol design and implementation issues in interconnecting integrated services digital networks (ISDN), intelligent networks (IN), and local area networks (LAN). An internetworking architecture for a heterogeneous intelligent network that consists of network-resident intelligent peripherals and three subnetworks, a telephone network, a LAN, and an ISDN, is presented. Design issues and problems encountered in the implementation of four protocol conversion facilities for a heterogeneous intelligent network testbed are analyzed. The testbed allows multimedia real-time communications/messaging among LAN workstations with logically associated telephones and ISDN voice/data terminals with a stylus pen and transparent tablet on top of a bitmap screen
