Experiences with ATM Equipment and Network Operation

چکیده
There are ATM nodes from several vendors in the market and some operators even are offering public ATM services. However, in order to really make a breakthrough of ATM we must develop ATM applications which are acceptable also by others than computerwizards. Our paper gives an outline of the ATM evolution from separate nodes to real and practical services utilizing ATM technology. One of the most prominent experiences of current situation is continuously evolving standards. First adopters have faced a dilemma of never ending software and hardware updates. Although we may except that Internet will be upgraded to ATM because of increasing capacity and quality requirements, the definitive role of ATM in the whole network architecture is still shrouded in mystery, and a lot of practical and theoretical questions are open.
