I think 3 months is enough. It sounds like a trivial exercise in
C programming. Perhaps we can assign it as a term project to
a class in Netwoking.
Home Work (worth 50% of the final grade)
Design and implement appropriate protocols and interfaces to enable
all Internet traffic to be carried by a combination of frame relay
SMDS and ATM.
Make sure that appropriate levels of reliability,robustness and
security are included.
Make sure that the resultant network interoperates with the current
network(s) as well.
What do you think Alison?

I suggest that since Gordon feels that SMDS and ATM over SONET can
"quite handily" carry TCP/IP that someone offer him a job - quick -
implementing either one or both. Since it's such an easy job, six
months ought to be enough, don't you think, Gordon? :-)
