Abstract:

This paper prepared by the IGIS Research Team at the University of Arizonas Computer Engineering Research Lab is the Final Report on the subject of ISDN-Internet Environment and Standards Analysis. The intent of this report is to present background information on the current state of the art in ISDN technology, and to provide advice for implementing the new ISDN technology into existing Army communication systems. This information will be presented in Chapters two through six of this report, beginning with general information about ISDN and network standards, general approach to internetworking, and finally discussing the specific cases of ISDN-LAN and ISDN-DDN internetworking problems. The term ISDN, Integrated Services Digital Network, refers to a concept in communications technology rather than a particular type of hardware. ISDN can be thought of as a worldwide information system that uses international standards to deliver a broad range of services voice, data, video, etc. which are all integrated into a single end-to-end digital network. The concept of an ISDN has been around for a couple of decades, and now because of standardization and technological advancements in digital communications this concept is becoming a realization. kr
