An Implementation of a ATMARP Multiple Server on the LINUX

리눅스 상에서 ATMARP 다중서버 구현

Recently, supporting ATM networks under LINUX operating systems environment has been actively studied. An ATMARP server in a conventional LINUX environment was designed under the ATMARP single-server to operate independently within a Local IP Subnet(LIS). In this paper, an ATMARP multi-server is introduced and implemented an ATMARP-server managing multiple LIS's on the LINUX-based IPOA. The ATMARP protocol processing functions and addition/deletion functions on management tables are required to implement the ATMARP multi-server. These functions can solve the problem of increasing the number of ATMARP servers in ATMARP single-server environment. The file transmission experiment with a connection configuration between LIS's shows that multiple LIS' con be managed by an ATMARP-server. As the results, the ATMARP multi-server scheme yields a smaller number of servers than that of the conventional ATMARP single-server scheme, and the network composition can be improved substantially.
