Service Categories

CBR: Constant Bit Rate (Zero delay variation) VBR: Variable Bit Rate VBR-RT: VBR real time (Low delay variation) VBR-NRT: VBR non-real time ABR: Available Bit Rate (Source commits to control, Best effort to not loose cells) UBR: Unspecified Bit Rate (No commitment, No guarantee) CBR VBR ABR

No Yes No Application Circuit Switching Interactive Multimedia Multimedia Email Data Monitoring

CLP = Cell loss priority; 1 Cell can be dropped under overload CLR = Cell Loss Ratio CTD = Cell transfer Delay = End-to-end delay CDV = Cell Delay variation = Max-Min End-to-end delay PCR = Peak Cell Rate MCR = Minimum Cell Rate

IP Over ATM

ATM similar to point-to-point WANs. Simpler than LAN emulation IP address:123.145.134.65 ATM address:…1-614-999-2345-… Issue: IP Address ⇔ ATM Address translation Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Inverse ATM ARP: VC ⇒ IP Address Solution: Logical IP Subnet (LIS) Server Ref: RFC 1577 Router SW Router VC

ARP Over ATM

Only one ATM ARP server per subnet ⇒ No synchronization Clients are configured with server’s ATM address Clients setup a VC with the server Server sends an inverse ARP (What’s your IP Address?) Client responds with its IP Address Clients ask server by ARP request (What’s ATM address of 123.145.134.65?) Server replies with ATM address. NAKs if not in table. ARP requests are NOT broadcast to all LIS members No broadcast or multicast in LIS LIS Router Server LIS Server

Networking Failures vs Successes

1980: Broadband (vs baseband) 1981: PBX (vs Ethernet) 1984: ISDN (vs Modems) 1986: MAP/TOP (vs Ethernet) 1988: OSI (vs TCP/IP) 1991: DQDB 1992: XTP (vs TCP)

Requirements for Success

Low Cost High Performance Killer Applications Timely completion Manageability Interoperability Coexistence with legacy LANs Existing infrastructure is more important than new technology

Challenge: Tariff

High-speed is important for LANs Low-cost is critical for WANs. Phone company’s goal: How to keep the voice business and get into data too? Customer’s goal: How to transmit the data cheaper? Tariff Today: 64 kbps voice line = $300/year 45 Mbps line (coast to coast) = $180 k-240 k/year ⇒ 155 Mbps line = $540 k - $720 k/year Tomorrow: 155 Mbps = $1k/month+ $28/G cells ⇒ $13k - $45k/year

Challenge: Simplicity

No equal competition ⇒ Complexity Ethernet vs Token ring war ⇒ improvements One size fits all ⇒ Complexity Too many options too soon. Should work for CBR and ABR LAN and WAN Private and Public Low speed and High speed Switches have to do connection setup, route determination, address translation, anycasting, multicasting, flow control, congestion control, ... Too few header bits. Bits used for dual purposes ⇒ Implementation complexity Many independent forums (ITU vs ATM Forum) ⇒ People energy divided

Summary

Available bit rate (ABR) service is important for data. IP over ATM is designed to KISS. Voice brings a lot of bucks for a little

  • bandwidth. Data requires a lot of

bandwidth for little bucks. Old companies will find it difficult to survive the tarriff wars. Solving all problems can lead to complexity and failure.
