Content:

The unit of study is expected to adapt in response to emerging issues. It is concerned broadly with two major issues in current and future high-speed broadband networks – the ability to deliver properly managed and differentiated quality of service and the drive for higher speed access to support more diverse multimedia applications. In both areas there are difficult technical challenges, and techniques continue to evolve over time.
