Title
ILLINET: a 32 Mbits/sec. local-area network
Abstract
ILLINET is a fiber-optical ring network designed to provide wide band linkages between host computers for the purpose of facilitating file transfers at speeds near those of fast I/O devices in the hosts. Its structure is similar to the Distributed Computing System. ILLINET will eventually connect several PDP-11's, a PRIME computer and a network of microcomputers. These computers are used in a variety of real-time and batch processing applications. Currently they are already interconnected via 9600 band lines in a star configuration to provide access to simple terminals. This paper describes the network architecture, control structure, and hardware configuration of ILLINET.
