Abstract

Among the many benefits of ATM networking are the potential for connections with negotiated quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees and application-specific data management at network endpoints. We describe the architecture of a PCI bus host adapter for OC-3 and OC-12 ATM, focusing on challenges in the areas of buffer management and flow control, since these are vital to realizing the bandwidth and QoS potential of ATM endpoint hosts.
