ATM switches with optical network and user interfaces: Deliverable DWP331
A zipped version of this document can be downloaded here.
Abstract :
Following the outcome of the Technical Audit, an evaluation on workgroup ATM switches and ATM network interface cards has been conducted. The major issues on which the investigation has been concentrated were the support of both signaling conforming to ATM Forum UNI 3.1 specification and IP over ATM. The first aspect allows the switches and the NICs to be compatible with the Ascom optical ring network, whereas the second is needed in order to reuse software that has been implemented within the framework of the predecessor project RACE HIPERNET.
