โฆ Synopsis
The advent of the new generation of accelerators, LEP and HERA, requires a new quality of networks for the HEP community. Plans for the very high speed wide area network in Germany are presented.
Modelled after the first 140 Mb/s pilot line, which currently connects the Ethernet LANs of Karlsruhe and Stuttgart, this network includes CERN and DESY and a number of German HEP institutes and so constitutes a backbone for high speed telecommunication to be used by HEP and other scientists. We discuss the technology, architecture, protocols and operational aspects of this network.

We study algorithms for adaptive source routing in high-speed networks, where some of the links are unreliable. Thus, the delivery of a single message to its destination may require trying several paths. Assuming a priori knowledge of the failure probabilities of links, our objective is to devise ro
