Asynchronous transfer mode technology for radiologic image communication.

Asynchronous transfer mode technology for radiologic image communication.

Image communication is an important component in picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and teleradiology applications. Currently, local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) use different technologies for image communication. Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is an emerging technology that can be used for both LANs and WANs. This article describes experimental results u...

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a cell-oriented switching and multiplexing technology that uses fixed-length (53 byte; 48 bytes of data, and 5 bytes of header information) packets — called cells — to carry various types of traffic, such as data, voice, video, multimedia, and so on, through multiple classes of services. ATM is a 1 connection-oriented technology, in which a connection is esta...

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Networks

Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or ATM, is a network transfer technique capable of supporting a wide variety of multimedia applications with diverse service and performance requirements. It supports traac bandwidths ranging from a few kilobites per second (e.g., a text terminal) to several hundred megabits per second (e.g., high deenition video) and traac types ranging from continuous, xed-rate tra...

Saturation Routing for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (atm) Networks

The objective of this paper is to show that saturation routing, ofien in the past considered inefficient, can in fact be a viable approach to use in many important applications and services over an ATM network This is demonstrated by showing that the ratio, de$ned as J of routing overhead cells over information cells is small even for large networkx f is calculated using typical network paramet...
