I am considering organizing a technical session for SUPERCOMM ICC'90
on "High Speed Internetworking and Gateway Architectures". The
conference will be held in in Atlanta Georgia during April 16-19 1990.
I would like to invite you to submit a paper to this session. Please
let me know if you would like to. Of course, I can send you more
information if you haven't seen the announcement yet. I am enclosing
the note that I sent to conference organizers about this session.   

Thanks.

This session will serve as an excellent platform for presenting
research on the issues related to the next generation internetworking
and gateway architectures. A new model for internetworking has been
motivated in part by recent work on high speed packet switching and in
part by the limitations of ARPA Internet model in supporting
guaranteed levels of performance to a number of applications.

The work on high speed packet switching is expected to lead to the
development of large public networks capable of supporting
applications ranging from low speed data to voice, high speed data and
video.  If such networks are to realize their full potential, they
must be designed to operate in an environment that includes networks
with widely varying characteristics. The internet model based on the
ARPA Internet has worked well for internetworking of the first
generation networks, but is not appropriate for the internetworking of
newer high speed networks for a variety of reasons.  Thus, there is a
need to address the issues related to the interplay of component
networks' diversity and our ability to support a variety of
applications with guaranteed levels of performance in the next
generation internet.

Some of the topics that will be covered by papers in this session
include: 

- model for the next generation internet: connectionless and
 connection-oriented transport facility, addressing model, diversity
 of component networks, functionality expected of component networks,
 routing model, etc.

- design and specification of a connection-oriented internet protocol
  which can work well with the emerging high speed networks as well as
  with the existing neworks.

- design of gateway architectures for high speed networks based on the
  lessons of high speed packet switches  

- resource management in an internet of diverse networks to provide
  variable grade performance with guarantees
