Signalling Support for Scalable Group Communication over ATM Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper an approach towards scalable group (many-tomany) communication across ATM networks is presented. Many network based applications rely on the concept of groups with dynamic membership. Todays ATM networks do not provide an adequate support for group communication as for example is available with IP multicast. In this document a hierarchical solution is described that adapts to the PNNI routing protocol. Based on a hierarchical group management, a scalable and eÆcient scheme for data transportation over ATM connections is presented. This scheme is based on a distributed signalling protocol, that allows group communication beyond local ATM network boundaries.

Seam: Scalable and Eecient Atm Multicast
This paper proposes a multipoint-to-multipoint mul-ticast architecture for ATM networks. The necessity for such an architecture stems from the scalability requirements , both in terms of state to be maintained in the network and in terms of the group population dynamics, of a wide range of networking applications. We argue that approaches of using multicast servers or meshes of point-to-multipo...

We describe our unifying architecture for multipoint-to-multipoint communications in ATM networks which meets the diverse requirement of group communications and permit a large degree of control on the multicast group. With an integrated use of a name space, the scheme allows scalable extension to large scale wide area multicast communications. We also enable exible control on routeing architec...
متن کاملAn Eecient Signaling Structure for Atm Networks 1 Atm Network and Signaling Problem
As ATM becomes widely accepted as the communication standard for high speed networks, the signaling system structure and protocols that support ATM become more and more important. To support existing, future and unknown applications, the signaling system has to be very exible and e cient. In this paper we de ne the signaling problem, present several possible signaling system structures, compare...
