This final report was prepared by various staff members at COMSAT Laboratories. Most of the work under Task 1 has been performed by s. Rothschild and J. Thomas of the Communications Processing Laboratory (CPL). Mr. Rothschild provided the material in Subsections 2.2 and 2.3. J. McCoskey helped throughout the contract period in SATNET performance data analysis, C&M module checkout, and the development of the wideband timing simulation program. L. Mikisits also helped with the SATNET data summaries and prepared the compilations in Subsection 2.4. Dave Mills and Hoi Chong were the major participants in Task 2, Internetworking Experiments, throughout the contract period. The success of the NTC demonstration was largely due to their diligent efforts. Dr. Mills prepared the material in Section 3 and Appendices A and B. J. Kaiser has been involved in the ARPA program since fall 1979, first in helping with the logistics relative to the NTC demonstration, and recently in assuming the lead role in COMSAT'S coordination/integration of the wideband system. Ross Snider, who is on temporary assignment at COMSAT Laboratories, provided an independent assessment of the C&M capability and prepared Section 5 of this report. The contributions of all of these individuals during the past 15 months are acknowledged.
