▼▼▼ ▼ 2 Introducing ATM Networking As a technology, ATM represents a sharp departure from LAN alternatives such as traditional Ethernets that typically rely on shared transmission media. That is, with Ethernet, several nodes often contend for the right to transmit over shared cable segments that support only one transmission at a time. When a node successfully captures the media, it transmits its message at the maximum allowed speed, completely consuming the media. However, even in th

ATM Networking Wide Area Connectivity International telephone companies have standardized ATM to support their domestic telephone voice traffic. As nations deploy their individual ATM networks, ATM’s standard definition makes it easy to interconnect these various ATM networks into a cooperative integrated global network. 2-2

Introducing ATM Networking Scaleable bandwidth ATM defines how ATM end-stations, such as your PC or workstation, connect to ATM switches and how ATM switches interconnect with each other. Because these various connections consist of dedicated links, their construction (metal wire or fiber optic) and the transmission speed they support may vary from link to link. When connections require higher speed, it is usually easy to upgrade the connection without disrupting other network nodes and

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide To communicate with another node, an initiating node must initiate a signaling request to the signaling Virtual Channel Connection (VCC) residing within the local switch. Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) are either constructed manually or constructed by both nodes and all intervening switches. Manually constructed connections are called Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) and must be manually deconstructed. With Switched

Introducing ATM Networking ATM uses SONET and SHD technology to reduce costs while achieving high transmission rates. Essentially, ATM combines multiple STS-1 frames into STS superframes (STS-Nc, where N stands for some integer value) and likewise for STM-1 frames. Transmitting 8,000 single STS-1 frames at telephone company in a second, referred to as STS-1 transmission, produces a 51.84 Mbit/sec transmission rate. An STS-3C transmission transmits 8,000 STS-3c superframes in a second, ea

Introducing ATM Networking stands for User Datagram Protocol. Both TCP and UDP have associated processes and applications that produce the messages and streams TCP and UDP receive and deliver. While TCP provides a reliable data transport mechanism to host applications including checksums, UDP provides applications-specific IP addresses but only provides its applications access only to IP’s connectionless, unreliable delivery. Classical IP over ATM Within contemporary networks, host IP so

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide LAN Emulation Clearly, ATM’s connection-oriented approach for communication is distinctly different from the broadcast-oriented approach traditional LANs use. ATM LAN Emulation, an industry-standard facility all Adaptec ATM adapters support, provides necessary mechanisms to address this requirement. LAN emulation allows ATM networks to provide all services available within legacy LAN environments. With LAN emulation, ATM networks use their facilities to mim
