Abstract
The DUAL network is based on multi-microprocessor nodes mounted on a Multibus chassis and interlinked by means of 140 Mbit/s fiber optics trunks. The DUAL ring is installed in a 160-hectare campus and serves as backbone network to a number of Ethernet TM, ISO 8802.X LANs and X25 networks. As well as acting as backbone network to other existing networks, DUAL itself provides LAN, X25 and other advanced services. Indeed it has been designed with the ambition to offer not only conventional network services (datagram and connections) but also unique multicast (radios and conferences) and synchronization primitives (semaphores) in support of distributed and parallel processing on a large scale.
