Observations

  • link-by-link flow control effective
  • demonstrated to be feasible over moderatly large networks
  • memory costs continue to drop
  • no cells lost
  • no losses in 135 GB transfer
  • competing traffic streams of 58.7 Mb/s and 59.3 Mb/s (118 Mb/s aggregate)
  • equivalent BER better than 10^-12
  • isolates flows, UDP/TCP
