Abstract

ATM networking was conceived some 20 years ago. ATM installations will reach their peak in the next decade. It is time to begin to consider what technology should follow ATM and how best to get there. In this article, we address some of the most important issues regarding recent advances in ATM research, including IP/ATM integration, connection admission control, signaling, and active and programmable networks. We present several research efforts conducted here at Cambridge University, illustrating possible evolutionary directions for future ATM networks.
