实用化的ATM交换机中组播通信的实现

The realization of multicast communication in practical ATM exchange

ATM是面向连接的技术，实现组播通信／广播通信是ATM交换机优越于现有STM交换机的重大体现，也是ATM技术能否在现有网络基础上普遍应用的关键。在共享缓存型ATM交换机中，组播通信的实现是一项重点和难点，本文介绍我院研制的共享缓存型ATM交换机中组播通信的设计与实现方法。

ATM is orient-connect technology,realizing multicast/broadcast is important embodiment that ATM exchange is better than STM exchange, and is also hinge that whether ATM technology can apply at large in base of now networks. In shared buffer ATM exchange,realizating multicast is an item of emphases and difficulty. The article introduce a way to realize multicast communication in shared buffer ATM Exchange.
