Abstract

The authors discuss important implementation issues in an ATM-based enterprise network, and propose possible migration strategies for the smooth introduction of ATM into the desktop computing environment. They present the ATM traffic service classes and the associated traffic management functions. The authors cover the latest ATM forum standardization efforts on traffic management functions and LAN emulation. Finally, they discuss how to seamlessly support the existing transport control protocol (TCP)/Internet protocol (IP) in an ATM environment
