TL;DR: The specification, analysis and evaluation of some hierarchical routing procedures which are effective for large store-and-forward packet-switched computer networks are dealt with, finding that in the limit of a very large network, enormous table reduction may be achieved with essentially no increase in network path length.

TL;DR: A number of key decisions made in the design of the ARPA network over a five-year period serve as the context for an analysis of the fundamental properties and requirements of packet-switching networks and formulation of thefundamental criteria for evaluating network performance.

TL;DR: Techniques to implement internet addressing, routing, error recovery, and other necessary communication services on top of local network facilities appear feasible without demanding large changes to individual nets.

TL;DR: The communications aspects of a distributed architecture for transaction processing are described, aimed at transaction processing on physically distributed data bases, where most of the hits on a given component of the data base come from a single geographic region.

TL;DR: A broad survey of packet-switched data network simulation experiments at the National Physical Laboratory during the years 1968-1976 is presented, including the isarithmic method of flow control.

TL;DR: A network of minicomputers to support transaction processing against a distributed data base based on a loop communications subnetwork is described and analytic and simulation models that have been used to predict performance are described.

TL;DR: This paper examines the following characteristics of telecommunications services: transfer rate, availability, reliability, accuracy, Accuracy, and security.

TL;DR: The structure of packets, their types and their uses are covered, as are the attempts made within the network to detect and recover from fault conditions.

TL;DR: The kinds of statistics needed to provide this information are discussed and a description as to how they are obtained in the CSIRO network (CSIRONET) is given as a specific example.

TL;DR: Assessment of the state-of-the-art in cost-benefit analyses of interactive systems and an approach for developing improved methodology are suggested and an experimental methodology is suggested for better performing benefit analyses of Interactive systems.

TL;DR: A nomograph system is constructed for determining the mean and variance of response times of a loop communication subsystem as a function of message lengths, arrival rates, loop speeds, and loop utilization.

TL;DR: The Federal Communications Commission has developed policies for the resale and shared use of common carrier services and established a policy of open entry for resale carriers without regard to impact on existing carriers, which will affect the operation of common user computer networks.
