摘要
To meet the needs of building the ATM based compus network, a general plan of ATM MAN is put forward. The traffic control in ATM multiplexing/demultiplexing and MAC Layer and Transmission Convergence (TC) Sublayer of the node is designed. The use of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) techniques into MAN will benefit the transition from MAN to B ISDN and the research in this paper will be useful in establishing ATM MAN or ATM LAN.
