“…Most notable examples are Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) [l] and the similar Connectionless Broadband Data Service (CBDS) supported mostly by public network service providers [2]. But also other approaches such as IP over ATM, and LAN emulation [3,4] that show more adherence to the existing local and campus area networking paradigms.…”

An increasing number of customers require LAN access with high bandwidth and low delay over long distances. To satisfy these needs, several high-speed network techniques have been developed recently. ATM is superior compared to other networking technologies, as it offers high bandwidth and is scalable in the sense that the bandwidth capacity of an ATM system is not fundamentally limited to the technology itself. Nail Kavaklthough emerging high bandwidth multimedia applications a r e one of the major driving forces behind the B-ISDN initiative, its success or failure largely s on how well currently used data communication applications and protocols can be supported in these networks. This article analyzes architectures and protocols specifically designed for providing data communication services in ATM LANs and ATM wide area networks. Current trends and activities within standard bodies and forums are outlined, the merits and weaknesses of various solutions are given, and the issues that still need to be addressed are discussed.An increasing number of customers require LAN access with high bandwidth and low delay over long distances. To satisfy these needs, several high-speed network techniques have been developed recently, offering data rates up to hundreds of Mb/s. Typical examples are FDDI, Frame relay, Fast Ethernet, Ether switch, and, most recently, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), all of which a r e designed to satisfy connectivity requirements emerging from current LAN, as well as high-speed workstations in order to run powerful distributed multimedia applications.Much interest has been expressed in ATM, due t o its flexibility and support of multimedia traffic. Although ATM initially targeted wide area networks, interest today is growing from LAN networking vendors. ATM is superior compared to other networking technologies, as it offers high bandwidth and it is scalable in the sense that the bandwidth capacity of an ATM system is not fundamentally limited to the technology itself. Furthermore, it can support multimedia traffic offering seamless integration with wide area ATM networks, both public and private.Initial ATM installations will operate as subnetworks of existing networks and MAC layer NAIL KA VAK h with TelialTelio Research.

“…Hence in MANs or WANs, a unified or standardized protocol is needed, by which signals of differing bit-rate are multiplexed and transmitted to the network. A TM protocol seems to be a solution but it has several problems: 1) The trade-off between Quality of Service (QoS) and the ATM node buffer size (Fischer, 1994). Small buffers increase the cell loss rate, while large buffers increase cell delay.…”

“…Even if a flow control function based on whether mean or peak cell rate is realized, cell loss probability cannot be completely excluded. Moreover, closed-loop reactive flow control based on Available Bit-Rate (ABR) is not feasible in a large network because of its long feed-back time (Fischer, 1994). 4) The traffic model problem (Partridge, 1994).…”

This paper proposes a novel bandwidth arrangement for an Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) that minimizes the line capacity required in bi-directional ring networks wherein the ADMs are connected logically in a mesh topology. The technique, characterized by timeslotlwavelength conversion, realizes uniform add/drop processing common to all ADMs, regardless of their location on the ring. A self-healing algorithm is proposed for the network, which offers better performance than existing algorithms for SONET rings in terms of protection line capacity, restoration time, and survivability against multiple failures. Delay issue caused by the self-healing function is also considered.

This paper presents a novel system architecture applicable to highperformance and flexible transport data processing which includes complex protocol operation and a network control algorithm. We developed a new tightly coupled Field Programmable Gate Army (FPGA) and hIicroProc&ng Unit (MPU) system named Yet Another Re-Definable System (YARDS). It comprises three programmable devices which equate to high flexibility. These devices are the RISC-type MPU with memories, programmable inter-connection devices, and FPGAs. Using these, this system supports various styles Of coupling Ween the FPGAs and the MPU which are suitable for constructing transport data processing. In this paper, two applications of the system in the telecommunications field are given. One is an Operation, Administration, and Management (OAM) cell operations on an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network The other is a dynamic recontiguration protocol enables the update or change of the functions of the transport data processing system on-line. This is the first approach applying the FPGAMPU hybrid system to the telecommunications field.
