FIBERKIT: A Datakit(R) Compatible 500 Megabit Virtual Circuit Switch

The advent of inexpensive, powerful workstations has caused many R&D computing environments to evolve from centralized processing, database and output facilities, to distributed processing and output stations, networked to centralized databases. This revolution is driven by the better performance and the lower cost these configurations offer. Unfortunately, the ability to network these powerful systems is not growing at a comparable rate.
