Researchers feel lure of I-WAY; a group of computer scientists has organized a demonstration of a new kind of network that could offer faster transmissions with fewer glitches than the existing Internet

Article Abstract:

The I-WAY is a new method for sending data over existing fiber-optic lines, which was designed to take advantage of the Internet's strengths while eliminating its weaknesses. Based on a new protocols and switches, the I-WAY also links the nation's 17 supercomputers, enabling them to work together.
