ATM in the Wide Area Network
نویسنده
چکیده
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology came into being in order to discuss why wireless ATM makes any sense or not. ATM technology is the result of efforts to devise a transmission and networking technology to provide high-speed integrated services: a single infrastructure for data, voice, and video. It evolved from the wide area into the local area, and then into the access loop. The following subsections describe how this evolution took place.

Analysis of Traffic Measurements on a Wide Area ATM Network
There is a pressing need for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) traffic measurements to validate/verify a large number of simulation and analytical studies of ATM networks. In this paper, results from a measurement study of traffic on a wide area ATM network, the very High Speed Backbone Network Service (vBNS) network are reported. We illustrate how the traffic characteristics change as the traff...

The cost eecient design of ATM networks is considered to be a challenging problem due to the heterogenity of services, the statistical muliplexing gain resulting from the resource sharing of variable bitrate (VBR) connections and the possibility of resource separation through virtual paths (VPs). Most proposals in literature are well suited for small problems only. For that before developing a ...
متن کاملVideoconferencing services over ATM using the ISABEL platform
This report shows several videoconferencing services offered by the Advanced Broadband Communications Centre (C.CABA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. These services are provided thanks to a high performance CSCW application (ISABEL). Moreover, all these activities used ATM as Wide Area Network technology, through the Spanish ATM Network (GIGACOM).
متن کاملTCP/ATM Experiences in the MAGIC Testbed
This paper describes performance measurements taken in the MAGIC gigabit testbed relating to the performance of TCP in wide area ATM networks. The behavior of TCP with and without cell level pacing is studied. In particular, we focus on results that indicate that the TCP rate control mechanism alone is inadequate for congestion avoidance and control in wide-area gigabit networks. We also presen...
متن کاملImplementation of Virtual LANs over ATM WANs
Virtual LANs (VLANs) allow to interconnect users over campus or wide area networks and gives the users the impression as they would be connected to the same local area network (LAN). The implementation of VLANs is based on ATM Forum’s LAN Emulation and LAN/ATM switches providing interconnection of emulated LANs over ATM and the LAN ports to which the user’s end systems are attached to. The pape...
