Introduction
Network must be able to transfer user traffic
throughput and low delay
with High
Transmission delay =
Size of the packet / Transmission rate.
48 bytes
5 bytes
Header
payload
53 bytes
4.
Disadvantages :
1.Segmentation and reassembly is required.
2.Resources are not effectively utilized.
If the user data is less than 48 bytes
redundant bits are added.
VCI phases
Note:
Note that a virtual connection is defined
by a pair of numbers:
the VPI and the VCI.
Connection identifiers
An ATM cell
Transmission path.
It is the Physical connection (wire,cable, satellite link
etc..) between an end point and a switch or between
two switches
Transmission path contains a set of virtual paths
Virtual paths : Provides a connection or a set of
connections between two switches.
Virtual path contains a set of virtual circuits.
Synchronous TDM
Statistical multiplexing or
Asynchronous time division multiplexing.
-Bandwidth is effectively utilized.
- High speed of operation can be achieved.
ATM multiplexing
Service categories
ABR :
Application that can tolerate variable delays and
cell loss.
feed back is given to source at the time of
congestion.
Ex : FTP & email.
Constant-bit-rate traffic
Variable-bit-rate traffic
Bursty traffic
ATM layers

ATM headers

Admission control
When a host wants a new virtual circuit
describes the traffic characteristics and the service expected.
The network then checks to see if it is possible to handle
this connection without adversely affecting existing
connections.
Resources reservation :
Since the traffic descriptor gives the peak cell rate, the
network has the possibility of reserving enough bandwidth
along the path to handle the rate.
Call-Level Control
An example of the call-level approach to
congestion control is call admission control
Tries to prevent congestion by not allowing
new calls or connections into the network
unless the network has sufficient capacity to
support them
Cell-Level Control
Also called input rate control
Control the input rate of traffic sources to
prevent, reduce, or control the level of
congestion

Admission control :
When a host wants a new virtual circuit describes
the traffic to be offered and the service expected.
The network then checks to see if it is possible to
handle this connection without adversely affection
existing connections.
Multiple potential routers may have to be examined to
find one, which can do the job.
If no route can be located, the call is rejected.
Resources reservation :
Resources are reserved in advance usually at call
setup time.
Since the traffic descriptor gives the peak cell rate ,
the network has the possibility of reserving enough
bandwidth along the path to handle the rate.
Bandwidth can be reserved, making sure that the
total bandwidth required along a line is less than
the capacity of that line.

Note:
VCIs in Frame Relay are called DLCIs.
Note:
Frame Relay operates only at the
physical and data link layers.
Note:
Frame Relay does not provide flow or
error control; they must be provided by
the upper-layer protocols.
Control Processor :
Make sure that all the input controllers present their cells to
the switching fabric in a single time slot.
Its clock and cell management mechanism make sure that
the cells get transmitted to the O/P port in a single time slot
Interconnection Networks
Bens Network
NXN Bens Network has 2 log 2 N 1) Stages,
Bens Network can establish non blocking
connections.
Bens Network from 2nd to (n-1) th Stage
consists of two identical sub networks
upper and lower.
Each Sub network is an N/2XN/2 Network.
