Abstract
Packet switching is a communication technology which has been used extensively in geographically distributed computer networks. It is also applicable to the communication subnetworks of compact multimicrocomputers known as network computers. This paper describes the use of the language Concurrent Pascal to build a packet-switching subsystem for the MICRONET network of DEC LSI-11 microcomputers. Examples of actual Concurrent Pascal source code taken from the system demonstrate the usefulness of high-level languages with abstract data types for complex communication software.
