TL;DR: The DARPA experimental internet system consists of satellite, terrestrial, radio, and local networks, all interconnected through a system of gateways and a set of common protocols as mentioned in this paper, which support an architecture consisting of multiple packet switched networks interconnected by gateways.
Abstract: THE MILITARY requirement for computer communications between heterogeneous computers on heterogeneous networks has driven the development of a standard suite of protocols to permit such communications to take place in a robust and flexible manner. These protocols support an architecture consisting of multiple packet switched networks interconnected by gateways. The DARPA experimental internet system consists of satellite, terrestrial, radio, and local networks, all interconnected through a system of gateways and a set of common protocols.

TL;DR: An overview of basic broad-band technology, hardware, software, and protocols needed for PC LAN's is presented, with a more detailed case study of the PC LAN developed by IBM and Sytek.
Abstract: Broad-band technology provides several advantages for personal computer local area networks (PC LAN's) including mature readily available transmission technology, large total bandwidth, support for multiple services, and cost-effective expansion from very small to very large systems. This paper presents an overview of basic broad-band technology, hardware, software, and protocols needed for PC LAN's. Gateways and network management are also considered. Recent PC LAN products are compared, with a more detailed case study of the PC LAN developed by IBM and Sytek.

TL;DR: The paper discusses the needs which led to L-Expressnet, describes the protocol, proves its correct operation, and compares its throughput-delay performance with those of other typical bus Protocols.
Abstract: L-Expressnet is the communication suxbnetwork for the CNET local area network project of the CNR, Italy. Based on a single bus topology, it utilizes a simple and efficient virtual-token access protocol which provides ordered and collision-free transmission. The paper discusses the needs which led to L-Expressnet, describes the protocol, proves its correct operation, and compares its throughput-delay performance with those of other typical bus Protocols. A major advantage of L-Expressnet is that its implementation may be based on Ethernet standard transceivers and network interfaces.

TL;DR: Staged circuit switching (SCS) is a message-switching technique that combines a new protocol with new communication hardware that is designed specifically for networks intended to function as integrated general-purpose MIMD machines.
Abstract: Staged circuit switching (SCS) is a message-switching technique that combines a new protocol with new communication hardware. Protocol and hardware are designed specifically for networks that are intended to function as integrated general-purpose MIMD machines, i.e., for "network computers."
