High-Speed Computer Communications


Outline
Utilization tests will be conducted for high-speed computer communications, such as high-speed inter-LAN communications and large-capacity file transfer, using user network interfaces at 156 Mbit/s.

Objectives
Network utilization technologies will be created and developed for super-high-speed communications and new applications of computer communications that have not been realized on existing communication lines.
