One in a series of eleven memoranda detailing the Distributed Adaptive Message Block Network, a proposed digital data communications system based on a distributed network concept. It considers the engineering specifications of the proposed system's switching node. It is felt that a small, unmanned switching node (yet having higher throughput rates than current large installations occupying thousands of square feet and requiring many people to maintain operations) can be built. The network proposal revolves around the feasibility of using this small, unmanned switching node.
