What is ATM Network?

Asynchronous Transfer Mode Network
It is a connection-oriented packet switching technique

that is universally accepted as the transfer mode of choice for Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network. ATM network technology for both local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs) that supports real-time voice and video as well as data. ATM is highly scalable and supports transmission speeds of 1.5, 25, 100, 155, 622, 2488 and 9953 Mbps

History
ATM came on the scene in the early 1990s, it was

thought to be the beginning of a new era in networking because it was both a LAN and WAN technology that could start at the desktop . ATM came from the telephone world, which had always delivered the highest quality communications.

Basic principles of ATM

ATM Network is considered as a specific packet

oriented transfer mode based on fixed length cells. ATM Network is connection-oriented. The information field of ATM cells is carried transparently through the network. No processing like error control is performed on it inside the network.

Quality of Services
Constant bit rate (CBR): CBR ensures that all cells in

a transmission are maintained from end to end. Real-Time Variable Bit Rate (rt-VBR): rt-VBR is intended for time-sensitive applications. Non-Real-Time (nrt-VBR): nrt-VBR is intended for applications which have bursty traffic characteristics and do not have tight constraints on delay and delay variation.

Quality of Services
Available bit rate (ABR): ABR supports available-bit-

rate traffic, minimum guaranteed transmission rate, and peak data rates. Unspecified bit rate (UBR): UBR is the best-effort service intended for non-critical applications, which do not require tightly constrained delay and delay variation, nor a specified quality of service.

ATM Network Model Features

Signaling Support: Signaling is provided for point-

to-point, full-duplex, Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC), Soft-Permanent Virtual Circuit (SPVC) and SoftPermanent Virtual Path (SPVP). Traffic Control: Traffic control includes Call Admission Control (CAC) and Usage Parameter Control (UPC). Buffering: Buffers can be configured at each switch for various QoS levels

ATM Network Structure

ATM Network Structure

ATM Network simulating consists of several ATM

switches, server and clients. we use OC3 link to connect the network for supporting maximum 155Mbps traffic. The three traffic components: video, voice and data are generated, we use rt_VBR for video, CBR for the voice, and ABR for data traffic.

Benefits of ATM Network

High performance via hardware switching
Dynamic bandwidth for busty traffic Class- of service support for media

Scalability in speed and network size

Common LAN / WAN architecture Opportunity for simplification via VC architecture International standard compliance

CONCLUSION
It is a technology that can handle all types of

traffic ( voice, video and data) multiplexed on the same network . It is the only technology common to all environments from LAN to GAN. ATM network combines both circuit and packet switching modes and thus able to handle traffic with characters tics on the same network.
