Moving from LANs to wide area§ Scaling and robustness

Moving from ATM to IP reliance§ Many wide area demos have required end-to-end PVCs§ This doesn’t scale to internet-wide interoperability

Middleware§ Technologies: QoS, multicast, security§ Portability, interoperability, and re-use§ Policy and technical issues
