Title: The internetworking of connectionless data networks over public ATM : connectionless server design and performance
Abstract: Author(s): Hong, Duke P.; Vickers, Brett J.; Suda, Tatsuya; Oliveira, Carlos | Abstract: The transport of connectionless data is necessary for the compatibility of emerging wide area ATM networks with existing computer networks. This paper investigates the design and performance of a virtual connectionless network overlayed on top of cell-based connection-oriented ATM networks. The virtual connectionless network is made possible by utilizing connectionless servers. Two packet forwarding techniques used by connectionless servers are examined. Forwarding connectionless packets in a cell-by-cell manner (streaming mode) is shown to result in lower packet loss and end-to-end delay than packet-by-packet forwarding of connectionless data (reassembly mode). A design and implementation are presented for a streaming mode connectionless server capable of a maximum throughput of 100 Mbps.
