PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN ...

this Consortium, such as: Web-based distance learning, videotransmissions or high
performance computing anticipated some of the current and future applications of the first
ATM MAN network in Romania.
From networking point of you, the next steps are related to the improvement of
management facilities for all sites and to the integration of the voice traffic.
