TranSwitch and Industry Leaders To Present A Seminar On "QUALITY OF SERVICE
(QoS) ISSUES RELATED TO INTERNET"
SHELTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 14, 1998--
Ascend Communications, FORE Systems, Orologic, Inc., University of
Illinois and TranSwitch to be Represented
TranSwitch Corporation (NASDAQ: TXCC) has announced plans to sponsor and
participate in a seminar titled "Quality of Service (QoS) Issues Related to
Internet", during the annual ComNet Show in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday,
January 28, 1998.
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 Corporation 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.
Bing Yang, Director of Hardware
FORE Systems
Dr. Raif Onvural, President & CEO
