Abstract
At first blush, one would expect that increasing data network transfer rates by two orders of magnitude (from the ubiquitous 10 Mbit speed of today's LANs to the greater than 1 gigabit-per-second speeds we expect of networks in the early 1990s) would severely impact our choice of network protocols and architectures. This report presents the strawman argument that, in fact, moving to one-gigabit data rates presents surprisingly few problems.Keywords
