Multiprotocol ATM/AAL network interface
Cesar A. Johnston, David J. Smith, K.C. Young · Electronics Letters · 1993
The architecture of an experimental prototype ATM/AAL network interface that performs ATM and ATM adaptation layer (AAL) processing is described. Using a single generic architecture, the interface handles several different AAL transfer protocols supporting both constant and variable bit rate services on a per cell basis. The prototype interface is implemented using FPGAs and off-the-shelf components.
