SHELTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 1997-- TranSwitch Corp. (NASDAQ: TXCC - news) has announced
plans to sponsor and participate in a seminar titled ''Quality of Service (QoS) Issues Related to Internet,'' in conjunction with
the grand opening of its new Boston Technology Center.
The seminar will be held on Thursday, Nov. 20, 1997 in Marlboro, Mass.
Traffic through the Internet facilities is doubling every six months and, as a result, there is a bandwidth bottleneck which is
likely to persist for the foreseeable future. ''We believe this can be dealt with only through a pragmatic approach which
would require a combination of orderly upgrade of network resources, and a resource allocation policy based on application
requirements. Different applications need to be assigned different classes of service and treated accordingly in terms of quality
of service (QoS) guarantees, commented Subhash Roy of TranSwitch Corp. who will be the moderator for the seminar.
The panel will discuss issues related to guaranteeing QoS over the Internet. The issues to be addressed include:
-- ATM vs. I.P. in Internet backbone from the point of
cost/performance including QoS.
Effect of Access Protocol on QoS.
Should QoS concept be extended to access points or even to
terminations?
-- Others
The featured speakers include the following:
Ascend Communications Inc [Nasdaq:ASND - news]. Dr. Praveen Goli
