ATM COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER NETWORK PROTOCOLS

ABSTRACT

Extension of multimedia services and applications offered by ATM networks to wireless and mobile users has captured a lot of recent research attention. Research about ATM Compatibility with other networks is currently underway at many leading research and academic institutions. Various architectures have been proposed depending on the intended application domain. Successful implementation of ATM Networks is significantly dependent on the medium access control (MAC) protocol, which has to provide support for multimedia traffic and for quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. The objective of this paper is to investigate the comparative performance of a set of networked protocols, proposed earlier in the literature, with more realistic source traffic models. The goal of the paper is to identify appropriate techniques for effectively and efficiently...
