A Fibre Optic Network For Integrated Voice/Data Transmission

TLDR
The network envisaged is a long-haul, packet-switched network, with optical fibre links between the nodes, for the integrated transmission of voice and data, which effectively utilizes the bandwidth of 140 Mbit/s fibre optic links.
Abstract
Digital transmission through optical fibres and 'packet-switching' are two independent technologies that have gained wide acceptance during the past decade. This paper considers the possibility of a fusion between the two technologies. The network envisaged is a long-haul, packet-switched network, with optical fibre links between the nodes, for the integrated transmission of voice and data. The advantages of implementing packet-switching on an optical fibre network are brought out. The proposed network effectively utilizes the bandwidth of 140 Mbit/s fibre optic links to transport voice and data packets in a store-and-forward manner from the source node to the destination node. The issues involved in the selection of routes for voice and data packets are discussed.

The design and flow control of a high speed, integrated, packet switched network

TL;DR: A novel design of a high speed packet switch capable of catering to voice and data traffic is described and the performance of the network and the packet switch is evaluated for various traffic characteristics through a simulation.

Performance requirements for integrated voice/data networks

TL;DR: Top-down end-to-end user-oriented performance requirements pertaining primarily to voice and digital data services are addressed, and both traditional parameters, as well as contemporary parameters associated with new and evolving systems are considered.
