asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology came into being in order to discuss why wireless ATM makes any sense or not. ATM technology is the result of efforts to devise a transmission and networking technology to provide high-speed integrated services: a single infrastructure for data, voice, and video. It evolved from the wide area into the local area, and then into the access loop. The foll...

Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) traffic emulators have been designed for demonstrating the performance of various protocols and services in ATM networks under user-defined traffic conditions. Analytical tools and traffic measurements show that specific traffic conditions can be emulated by using the superposition of various stochastic processes. This paper presents a generic method for impleme...

Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document discusses and defines a number of tests that may be used to describe the performance characteristics of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) based switching devices. In addition to defining the tests this ...

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching is not defined in the ATM standards, but a lot of research has been done to explore various ATM switch design alternatives. Each design has its own merits and drawbacks, in terms of throughput, delay, scalability, buffer sharing and fault tolerance. By examining the features of the basic switch designs, several conclusions can be inferred about the des...

This paper discusses some of the issues in mapping the ACCOPI Multimedia Transport Service (AMTS) over the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network technology. The AMTS is a transport service mainly designed to support multimedia applications. ATM offers two important characteristics required by multimedia applications (namely QoS and multicast). We first discuss general architectural issues su...

Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) is a versatile solution to address the problems faced by present-day networks—speed, scalability, quality-of-service (QoS) management, and traffic engineering. MPLS has emerged as an elegant solution to meet the bandwidth-management and service requirements for nextgeneration Internet protocol (IP)–based backbone networks. MPLS addresses issues related to sc...

The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Architecture [1] discusses a way in which Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches may be used as Label Switching Routers. The ATM switches run network layer routing algorithms (such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), etc.), and their data forwarding is based on the results of these routing algorithms...

Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (WATM) [5] is motivated by the increasing importance of portable computing applications in business, consumer and military applications. As multimedia applications migrate to portable devices, wireless extensions to existing broadband networks will be required to support the seamless delivery of integrated voice, video and data with high quality. In this cont...

Multimedia is characterized by bursty traac and often with stringent real-time constraints. Multimedia traac requires quality of service guarantees. This gives rise to traac management issues in order to obtain a high network utilization and quality of service guarantee to the multimedia stream. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the traac management issues and their possible so...

The synergic environment sensing based on multi-agent system, which designed the identification process based on combined sensing and was different from the environment perception technology studied mostly by previous research, has been developed. Developed a multi-agent combat environmental information sharing mechanism based on the confrontation of time asynchronous. Proposed multi-agent coll...
