Abstract

The original communication networks were designed to carry traffic with homogeneous performance requirements. The telephone network carried real-time voice, with stringent latency bounds, and therefore used circuit-switched technologies with fixed bandwidth allocated to each call. Original data networks were used for electronic mail and file exchange, and therefore employed packet switching and provided best-effort service.
