In this paper, the architecture of the LAN Emulation service defined by the ATM Forum is introduced. In order to use the vast base of the existing LAN application software in ATM network. LAN Emulation provides a MAC layer service emulating connectionless services of legacy LANs on ATM networks. LAN Emulation forms a logical overlay network, called and emulated LAN, on top of an ATM network. LAN Emulation service comprises a set of LAN Emulation Clients(LECs) residing in end stations of an emulated LAN and three logical service entities : LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS), LAN Emulation Server(LES). and Broadcast and Unknown Server(BUS). LEC utilizes the services provided by these three servers to provide seamless interworking between legacy LANs and ATM networks, and to support transparent communications between LAN applications over ATM.

A FR-ATM interworking function that has FR and ATM interfaces, should guarantee the QoS of both frame relay and ATM networks. The IWF requires the policing mechanisms for FR and ATM respectively, and needs to map the traffic parameters each other. In this case, traffic parameter mapping and policing function are performed independently. In the aspect of FR traffic policing, this function degrades processor performance if it is worked by software, or includes additional hardware function. The best way to solve this is to integrate this function into ATM function because ATM is performed by well defined hardware already. In this paper we propose the integrated traffic control mechanism. That is, frames are segmented to cells first, and then policing mechanism is applied to the cells to guarantee the FR QoS. Therefore proper policing algorithm is essential to the integrated FR traffic mechanism. The evaluations are done with simulations in comparison of existing FR algorithms, ATM VBR and GFR policing algorithms, and the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose ATM switch architecture including ALL type 2 switch which can efficiently transmit low-bit rate data, even if the network has many endpoints. We simulate the architecture of ATM switch fabric that is modeled in computer program and analyze the performance according to offered loads. ATM switch proposed in this paper can support cell switching for all types of m cells which consist of ALL type 1. ALL type 2, ALL type 3/4 and ALL type 5 cells. We propose two switch fabric methods; One supports the ALL type 2 cell processing per input port, the other global ALL type 2 cell processing for every input port. The simulation results show that the latter is superior to the former. But the former has a merit for easy implementation and extensibility. In this paper, the AAL Type 2 switch module which adapts the former method is designed using VHDL language and implemented in FPGA chip. The designed AAL Type 2 switch module operates at 52MHz. The proposed ATM switch fabric is widely applicable to mobile communication, narrow band services over ATM network and wireless ATM as well as general ATM switching fabric.

본 논문에서는 ATM 통신프로토콜을 위한 자동시험시스템인 ACTS(ATM Conformance Test System)의 개발과 적용을 소개한다. ACTS는 ITU-T 또는 ATM Forum의 ATM 사용자-망 접속표준을 준용하는 ATM 단말과 망장비의 프로토콜적합성을 확인하는데 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 ACTS 개발에 사용된 방법을 소개한 뒤, ACTS를 실제 ATM 단말과 장비에 적용한 사례들을 소개한다. ACTS의 적용을 통하여 시험대상 장비들이 지닌 프로토콜구현상의 문제점을 파악하였고, 문제에 대한 원인분석을 수행하였다. 또한 이러한 문제점들이 상호운용에 미치는 장애를 예측함으로써, ACTS를 상호운용하는 ATM 장비를 확보하기 위한 유용한 도구로 사용할 수 있음을 보인다.Abstract This paper presents development and application of ACTS(ATM Conformance Test System), an automated test system for ATM protocols. ACTS is a test system that checks conformance of ATM terminal and network equipment implementing either ITU-T or ATM Forum user-network interface. This paper, after presenting the methodology and process used for developing ACTS, conducts case studies of its applications to real ATM equipment. By applying ACTS, we were able to detect numerous problems in protocol implementations of ATM equipment and analyse causes of the problems, thereby demonstrating the efficacy of ACTS as an efficient automated testing tool. Furthermore, by predicting the potential effects of the problems on interoperability, we show how ACTS can be used as a useful tool for ensuring interoperable ATM equipment.

ATM 망은 기존 망 서비스를 수용하여야 하며 특히 회선 대행 서비스의 제공은 필수적이다. 회선 대행 서비스는 일정 비트율의 실시간성 서비스이며 손실에 민감한 특성을 갖기 때문에 엄격한 Qos 의 보장을 요구한다. 회선 대행 서비스는 64Kbps 단위의 Time Slot 의 수(N)에 따라 사용 대역폭이 결적되며 ATM 망과 연동을 위해서는 ATM 트래픽 파라메터로 변환되어야 한다. 회선 대행 서비스의 경우 CAS(Channel Associated Signaling)를 사용하는 경우와 Partial Cell Fill을 허용하는 경우에 따라 ATM Cell Rate를 다르게 적용하여야 한다. 이 논문은 ATM 망이 회선 대행 연결을 ATM의 CBR 서비스 카테고리로 Mapping 하기 위한 트래픽 파라메터 산출 방법을 제시한다. 또한 다수의 회선 대행 링크가 하나의 ATM 링크로 다중화되는 경우 ATM 인터페이스의 연결 수락 제어 절차를 제안한다.

This paper presents the queuing model for evaluating the performance of TMN EMS with ATM switching systems. TMS for managing ATM switching systems has a hierarchical structure that consists of managers at the top level, agents at the middle, and ATM switching systems at bottom. A manager communicates with several agents, and an agent manages an ATM switching system We define a queuing model in order to predict the capacity and performance for managers in EMS. By evaluating the queuing model, we can predict the average service time and capacity of EMS.

In order to accommodate current accelerated growth in customers and traffic. Internet has faced the demand to scale its network dimension both in size and bandwidth, and new service provisioning. One way to solve this problem is to forward If packets based on ATM switching technology. This paper briefly explained technical tasks to apply this If switching technique in ATM networks for building Internet backbone, and presented the directions to approach these tasks. Those tasks are scalability, ATM VC setup and mapping between VC and IP packet flow, traffic management and traffic engineering, multicast, and finally ATM switch architecture to provide multiservice.

ATM technology, which acts as a representative high-speed bandwidth technology, plays an important role in Internet environment. ATM network, supporting QoS(Quality of Service) and various traffic characters in high speed, configures many VPC(Virtual Path Connection)/VCC(Virtual Channel Connection). It is important to guarantee the QoS of each connection and it is necessary for the network manager to search element affecting the QoS of VPC/VCC and to control ATM network correctly. In the paper, the management information of VPC/VCC, that ATM network manager Using the fault notification for ATM switch, we can manage the configuration, fault and performance of ATM network. Thus, we extracted the configuration, fault and performance monitoring item from the ATM-MIB and SNMP M4 Network Element View MIB. And we designed the ATM network configuration, fault and performance management system based on the extracted item.
