Title: Using the common LAN to introduce ATM connectivity
Abstract: A method for using LAN technologies to transport asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cells is outlined. B-ISDN service requirements are broken into three groups, i.e., high speed media, multimedia interfaces, and service control software. Compression techniques for bandwidth intensive services are discussed. It is argued that these services may be provided using sub-Mb/s ATM links. The ATM concept is shown to be independent of the physical layer, allowing low-speed services to be implemented and utilized before high speed links are in place. An architecture is described where a LAN/fiber gateway switches cells between an external B-ISDN fiber and an in-house Ethernet based ATM network.
