An overview is given of a system designed to handle a heterogeneous and dynamically changing mix of applications. It is based on fiber-optic transmission systems and high-performance packet switching and can handle applications ranging from low-speed data to voice to full-rate video. A novel feature is a flexible multipoint connection capability suitable for broadcast and conferencing applications. The architecture of a switching systems that can be used to support this network is described.>
