Abstract:

This report summarizes work performed in the area of Network Communication Research. This effort was divided into four projects 1 the Internet Concepts project, 2 the Multimedia Conferencing project, 3 the Protocol Accelerator project, and 4 the Supercomputer and Workstation Communication project. Under these projects, ISI research staff engaged in research into packet communication technologies, including, but not limited to, combinations of broadband satellite, internet protocols, and routing algorithms to assess their applicability to generic military command and control problems. Command and control system architectures for utilizing geographically distributed processing capabilities such as mixed voice, data and graphics conferencing, electronic message handling, and other applications were investigated, tested, and evaluated.Author
