Abstract

This article introduces the concept of the ATM Warren. The Warren is an arbitrary mesh subnetwork of very simple ATM switches and end stations connected to the wide-area B-ISDN at one or more points. The Warren differs from other ATM networks in that both switches and end stations are designed to be implemented entirely in hardware with all control software banished to external computers
