摘要
ATM 网络是多媒体通信的最终选择,而基于目前大多数多媒体应用以业已存在的局域网为其下层传输,所以在 ATM 网络发展过程中必须考虑其支持现有局域网应用及计算机网络互联的问题。本文详细介绍了在 ATM 网络上支持 Internet 的 IPOA、LANE、MPOA 等技术,并分析了其优缺点和发展趋势。
The ATM network is the final selection to multimedia communi- cations.Currently,the existing LAN is widely used for the lower layer transmission in applications ot multimedia,so it must be con- sidered in the development of the ATM network that the ATM net- work should support the present LAN services and Internet.The paper comprehensively intro- duces the IPOA,LANE and MPOA technologies used to support In- ternet in the ATM network,ana- lyzes the merits and demerits of the mentioned technologies re- Spectively,as well as their devel- opment trends.
