Emerging Issues in ATM

Before ATM becomes a mainstream communications technology, it must overcome several technical and strategic challenges.

These challenges involve:

• ATM regression testing,

• switch-fabric design,

• traffic control and signaling,

• multiprotocol support,

• application programming interfaces,

• network management,

• quality of service issues, and
  • Traffic Characteristics and QoS Requirements for Selected Applications
  • Three-level QoS Architecture
  
  
• implementation in wireless environments (WATM Proposal).
