ATM transport system architecture and field trial
Ikuo Tokizawa, Hiromi H. Ueda, Kazuro Kikuchi · 2002
The ATM link system will play an important role in constructing virtual path transport networks for the future B-ISDN. A prototype ATM link system is implemented that exhibits the benefits of ATM to the greatest possible extent. This system features not only very high-speed line interfaces, large capacity cross-connect networks, and built-in functions that contribute to efficient operation and maintenance, but also very compact equipment using state-of-the-art technologies. The paper describes the B-ISDN network architecture, ATM link system role in the networks, newly developed technologies, and the implemented system.>
