Optimizing ISDN to Give More Capacity at Less Cost
Bryce, James Y.
[HTML version] [pdf version]: Reviews the history of ISDN, provides some quick fundamentals, and finally addresses the problem of public switched network congestion brought on by intense Internet use. The author argues against dedicated ISDN and builds a case for Always On/Dynamic ISDN (AO/DI) Network Architecture, which creates the illusion of full-time connection while actually reducing connection times and costs to carriers and users.
