This paper describes our experience with implementing an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network simu-lator in the high-level sequential programming language SMURPH Dobosiewicz and Gburzynski 93], and then porting it to SimKit|a parallel simulation tool ooer-ing a C++ interface to a shared-memory implementation of the well-known Time Warp Jeeerson 85] concept. The work was undertaken as part o...

A near-end crosstalk (NEXT) canceller using a fine-grain pipelined architecture is presented. Performance of the proposed pipelined NEXT canceller is demonstrated in the 125 Mb/s twisted-pair distributed data interface and 155.52 Mb/s asynchronous transfer mode local area network applications. In addition, we analyze the computational complexity of the proposed pipelined NEXT canceller. It is s...

An ATM/MAN-based personal communication network (PCN) architecture is presented which combines the broadcast and distributed advantages of metropolitan area networks (MANs) for handling local traffic, and the high speed switching capability of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) for wide area connectivity. A dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme is employed to integrate different types of traffic ov...

In this paper we present several practical methods for formally verifying an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network switching fabric using the Verification Interacting with Synthesis (VIS) tool. We produced Verilog RTL behavioral and netlist structural descriptions of the switch fabric at different levels of hierarchy and established several abstracted models of the fabric. Using various tech...

For many applications, audio is now conveyed digitally. Video applications are following fast, particularly for videoon-demand. These digital streams require constant-rate digital channels between the source and destination, but a great number of all networks being planned today are based on the packet switched Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology. This paper serves as an introduction to...

INTRODUCTION The recent arrivals of fast networks, such as Myrinet, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) coupled with powerful personal computers and workstations, has allowed for cost effective high-performance and high-availability clusters to be built from commodity parts. Additionally, the new cluster platform offers enough raw hardware performance to allow execution of applications such as par...

In personal communication systems based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), voice is transported as compressed low bit rate information between network elements. Due to cost eeciency, future implementations of CDMA networks likely will utilize the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology to connect components of the land network infrastructure. This paper discusses the capability of usi...

This paper examines a few techniques in booting Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches securely over an insecure network. Each of these techniques assume a diierent trust model. This work is carried out in the context of the Fairisle ATM switch environment. In this environment we are envisaging an open multi service network where ATM switches are booted with third party software, using a thi...

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of models for the performance analysis of packet delay and loss in a high speed multiplexer. The multiplexer is taken to be of the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) type with the goal of providing a large degree of exibility in integrating multi-media traac. We examine a variety of numerical methods for solving these models, including the appro...

This document describes the use of a single RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) reservation to aggregate other RSVP reservations across a transit routing region, in a manner conceptually similar to the use of Virtual Paths in an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network. It proposes a way to dynamically create the aggregate reservation, classify the traffic for which the aggregate reservation a...
