    NTIA Report 82-103 Integrated Services Digital Networks, Standards, and Related Technology D.V. Glen u.s. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Malcolm Baldrige, Secretary Bernard J. Wunder, Jr., Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information June 1982 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Preface This report describes Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) concepts, status, and technologies. The ISDN is expected to be a major architectural concept in the future. Awareness of the ISDN by the military is important because the commercial sector is already be­ ginning to evolve in this direction on a national and international scale, and important new technologies are involved. This report is submitted as partial completion of a study being conducted for the U.S. Army's Communications Systems Agency at Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey, under project order number 105 RD. It is one of a series of reports on a multiphase project to analyze requirements and evaluate alternatives for the Defense Communications System in Europe. Administrative and technical monitoring of this pro­ ject was performed by Mr. R. Brynildsen of CSA. Technical and management supervision of the program at ITS was pro­ vided by Dr. P. M. McManamon and Mr. R. F. Linfield. Certain commercial names and companies are identified in this report to specify and describe some of the neces­ sary information. In no case does such identification imply exclusive recommendation or endorsement by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

Appli- cations of Ethernet in the SAN and MAN arena elevate it from a LAN technology to a ubiquitous networking technology. With the expanded applicability of Ethernet there are certain adaptability issues which prompt rethinking of some of its archi- tectural features.

    ISDN AT NASA LEWIS RESEARCH CENTER Catherine Murphy Bakes* Kent State University Kent, Ohio 44242 Fredric Goldberg Steven W. Eubanks National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lewis Research Center Cleveland, Ohio 44135 Abstract The work described in this paper is an expository investigation of the potential impact of ISDN at NASA Lewis Research Center. To properly frame the subject, the paper con- tains a detailed survey of the components of Narrowband ISDN. The principles and objectives are presented as decreed by the CCITT. The various channel types are delin- eated and their associated service combinations are described. The subscriber-access network functions are explained pictorially via the ISDN reference configuration. A sec- tion on switching techniques is presented to enable the reader to understand the emer- gence of the concept of fast packet switching. This new technology is designed to operate over the high bandwidth, low error rate transmission media that characterizes the Lewis environment. A brief introduction to the next generation of networks is cov- ered with sections on Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Synchronous Optical Networks (SONET). Applications at Lewis are pre- sented, first in terms of targets of opportunity, then in light of compatibility constraints. In-place pilot projects and testing are described that demonstrate actual usage at the Research Center. ISDN AT NASA LEWIS RESEARCH CENTER 1 * Summer Faculty Fellow at NASA Lewis Research Center. Introduction Introduction NASA Lewis Research Center has a long history of providing telecommunication and networking services to its user community. These services have completely encom- passed the traditional elements of data, video, and voice.
