- Title: High Speed Switching for Broadband Communications
-
- Abstract:
- At first, service requirements for broadband communications are reviewed,
- including single media (data communications, video communications) and
- multimedia applications.
- The current status of STM ( Synchronous Transfer Mode) and ATM (Asynchronous
- Transfer Mode) high speed switching options in the framework of the B-ISDN
- (broadband ISDN) is briefly reviewed by highlighting both the multirate
- challenge for STM and the congestion control challenge for ATM.
- Then, STM and ATM interconnection networks are classified in the frame of a
- common taxonomy. Hence, a few types of ATM switching systems are identified and
- their performance and implementation are briefly discussed.
- Finally, a view on today's non-ATM high speed switching alternatives
- is given, including:
- -STM multirate switches,
- -variable length datagram switches,
- The various switching options are described by taking into account technologies
- for the implementation of both buffer modules and electronic/photonic space
- interconnections modules.
