Metropolitan area networks are evolving to fill the gap between local and wide area networks. The standards organization for such networks, IEEE Project 802.6, is defining a standard with unique advantages in scheduling and failure recovery. It is highly compatible with broadband ISDN and ATM switch technology. The resulting combination will be a seamless network embracing both customer buildings within metropolitan areas and world‐wide interconnection.
