Abstract :
The authors discuss possible future directions for high-speed networking in the time frame of the next three to five years. The discussion is based on the authors´ experience in the networking business. Both architectural and technology issues are considered. Five subjects expected to be especially significant are covered: cross-point switches, multiple network service paths, integration of Telco standards and services, high technology for networks, and wave division multiplexing for terabit networks.<>
