This paper presents intelligent network services and performance analysis methods for planning, designing, operating, and managing the evolving defense asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. The Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) uses ATM high-speed networks and IP services to support multiple types of traffic classes with high performance. The DISN will deploy an ATM architecture and emulated LAN services to accommodate a wide variety of traffic types. This paper focuses on IP-over-ATM services that are key to the future DISN and addresses technical issues concerning the quality-of-service (QoS). Traffic characterization and analysis of ATM networks, capacity management and sizing, and allocation of network resources in response to new requirements are studied. The performance analysis, monitoring, and operational effectiveness are then examined. The intelligent network design and analysis methods using modeling and simulation tools to support the complete life cycle of the DISN ATM are also described.
