High-speed transport components

An overview of research of high-speed transport components is given. High-speed protocols as well as high-speed implementations are considered. The use of parallelism to increase the performance of communication nodes is considered. A parallel implementation of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols on transputer networks based on the parallel concepts discussed is described. Selected performance values of the implementations are presented. The outlook on the design of high-speed transport components for future communication systems is examined.<>
