Conclusions
CDF RunII means Unix, mostly on PC, then Sun and/or SGI, DEC may be dropped on the way.
Mostly no special software needed but ROOT
will use more m-bone like one-to-one videoconferencing
Network to FNAL must be improved
- better interactive response
- higher bandwidth for data transfer (few Mbit/sec)
- good bandwidth on demand (QOS) for LAN-like connection: - remote monitoring - remote shifts - remote collaboration
- 10KBytes/sec ~ 64 kbit up to 128 kb/s
- commercial ISDN on PPT an option
- cutting it out of internet better, but soon (2000 is next year).
- Start ISDN then go on private line as usage increases in 2001 and later ? RunII lasts till 2005 at least ...
