Abstract:

The NAAAN project is composed of two major tasks Netstation and Advanced Atomic Networking the latter informally called ATOMIC-2. The Netstation task concerns itself with issues that arise when a gigabit network is substituted in workstations in place of a system bus. The ATOMIC-2 task focuses on generalizing the ATOMIC gigabit LAN technology, so that it interoperates with workstations and other networks in much the same way that Ethernet based LANs do.
