Abstract :
The new direction taken by the US Navy in its SAFENET standardization effort is described. A discussion is provided on the survivability issues in the trunk ring, dual homing, and alternate path configurations. In addition, the approach of using multiple independent networks (e.g. FDDI networks) with dynamic network layer protocols is presented
