Topological considerations of ATM networks

چکیده

The key to achieving universal network scalability is hierarchical organisation, where routing information is aggregated between levels in the hierarchy. This approach can considerably reduce the overheads due to storage, transfer and processing of routing information for large networks. Other benefits include increased security and ease of management of the network. Due to the high routing complexity of the PNNI routing protocol, an optimal hierarchical structure is essential to reduce the huge overheads incurred. This report considers two hierarchical routing models based on the optimisation of the size of topology databases and routing complexity, respectively. The report also suggests some design guidelines for an hierarchical PNNI structure of a network topology.

M1, M2, ..., Mk/G1, G2,..., Gk/l/N Queue with Buffer Division and Push-Out Schemes for ATM Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper, loss probabilities and steady state probabilities of data packets for an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network are investigated under the buffer division and push-out schemes. Data packets are classified in classes k which arrive in Poisson fashion to the service facility and are served with general service rate under buffer division scheme, finite buffer space N is divided in...

Securing Classical IP Over ATM Networks

This paper discusses some security issues of `Classical IP over ATM' networks. After analyzing new threats to IP networks based on ATM, security mechanisms to protect these networks are introduced. The integration of rewalls into ATM networks requires additional considerations. We conclude that careful con guration of ATM switches and ATM services can provide some level of protection against sp...

Satellite ATM Network Architectural Considerations and TCP/IP Performance

In this paper, we have provided a summary of the design options in Satellite-ATM technology. A satellite ATM network consists of a space segment of satellites connected by inter-satellite crosslinks, and a ground segment of the various ATM networks. A satellite-ATM interface module connects the satellite network to the ATM networks and performs various call and control functions. A network cont...
