Abstract

We present a new network design problem that arrises when designing virtual paths in an ATM network to properly support client/seruer applications. We present several alternatives for the solution, discuss their pros and cons, and focus on a novel "greedy" solution, which we prove to optimize certain important c&teha (namely, the network overhead for a request/ response and the utilization of bandwidth and routing table resources). In addition, we propose a new, efficient bandwidth allocation scheme which is tailored for client/server applications over ATM networks. The results in this work imply the importance of ATM switches that switch both VPs and VCs.
