Fast Connection Establishment in the DTM Gigabit Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode (DTM) is a new protocol suite based on synchronous fast circuit switching. The DTM network is based on bandwidth reservation and supports dynamic reallocation of bandwidth. It is designed to support real-time multimedia applications and high-speed computer communication. DTM uses a novel medium-access technique and provides a multicast connection-oriented service. In this paper, the connection establishment in the DTM network is discussed and a scheme for fast connection establishment is presented. The scheme allows for fast set-up of channels which results in an efficient usage of the network’s bandwidth and a short access delay for the user. Buffer handling and memory management implementations at a host interface supporting this scheme are also presented. Keyword Codes: C.2.0, C.2.1, C.2.2

متن کاملDTM — A True Broadband Concept Based on Fast Circuit Switching
The paper discusses the use of fast circuit-switching in future highcapacity networks. We believe that the capacity and the size of the public network will increase to an extent where it is infeasible to rely on bandwidth optimization and dynamic congestion control mechanisms [8]. Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode (DTM) is a new protocol suite based on synchronous fast circuit switching. It is ...
