ATM局域网与局域网互联技术

ATM LAN AND INTERNETTING LANs

由于日益增长多媒体技术的应用和对一般数据的高速传输业务的需求，ＡＴＭ技术应运而生。将ＡＴＭ引入局域网成败关键在于它是否能提供与现行协议和应用程序兼容的类似的局域网业务。为此，本文主要讨论ＡＴＭ引入局域网时，实现局域网无连接服务，协议适配以及与ＡＴＭ广域网互联过程。

Because of new multimedia application and the rapid growth of data services employing simple data transfers, ATM is viewed as a technology capable of soloving many problems in data communition. ATM 's success as a LAN technology depends on its ability to provide LAN-like services compatible with existing protocols and applications. So, this paper. mainly discusses ATM LAN architectures with special focus on LAN emulation protocol adaption and the support of connectionless LAN interconnetion.
