Introducing ATM Networking

As a technology, ATM represents a sharp departure from LAN alternatives such as traditional Ethernets that typically rely on shared transmission me di a. That is, with Ethernet, severa l nodes often contend for the right to transmit over shared cable segments that support only one transmission at a time. When a node successfully captures the media, it transmits its message at the maximum allowed spee d, complet e ly consuming the media. However, even in the best of circumstances, it is not unusual for two or more nodes to begin transmitting at the same time and interfere with each othe rs transmiss ion. Ethernet’s design anticipates and compensates for unpredictable trans miss ion co llision s that occur.

How ATM Works

In cont rast to ot he r method s, ATM isolates netwo rk no des by fo rc i ng them to attach to ATM switches using dedicated connections. ATM switches the n intercon nect and cooperate with e a ch other to form a network and p rovide commun ication conne ctions. While an ATM node has full use of its switch attachment link, nodes share the capacity of the links connecting the swi t ches. Unlike Ethernet networks, this sharing is largely in visible to the nodes. Because of this and other considerations, A TM provides numerous advantages and capabilities that are difficult or impossible to obtain with legacy LAN approaches. Perhaps the most important ATM benefits are its

2-1

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide

native wide area connectivity, scaleable bandwidth, and bandwidth guarantees.

Figure 2-1. ATM Networking

Wide Ar ea C o nnectivity

International telephon e companies have standardized ATM to support their domestic telephone voice traffic. As nations deploy their i ndividual ATM networks, ATM’s standard de f inition makes it easy to in te rconnect th e se various ATM networks into a coop e rative integrated global network.

2-2

Introducing ATM Networking

Scaleable bandwidth

ATM defines how ATM end-stations, such as your PC or workstation, connec t to ATM switches and how ATM switches interconnect with each other. Because these various co nne ctions consist of dedicate d links, their construction (metal wire or fiber optic) and the transmission speed they support may vary from link to link. When connections require higher speed, it is usually easy to upgrade the connection without disrupting other network nodes and switches, upgrading transmission bandwidth only where necessary.

Bandwidth guarantees

Whenever one ATM node communicates with another, it uses a virtual connection that disguises the fact that connections actually traverse shared media. In this way, ATM networks make it appear that conne ctions are dedicated. Only if the necessary bandwidth is available along the entire r oute does the connection setup complete successfully. AT M’ s guarant eed bandw id th allo ws conne c tions to transport audio, video, an d i mag e data that is sensit ive to time delays that occur when bandwidth is unpredictable as it is with Ethernet.

To further improve transmission predictability, ATM networks transmit small, 53 byte messages, called cells. A cell contains 48 data bytes and a five-byte head er. Since ATM tr ansmission media only transport only one cell at a time, the small message size allows switches and nodes to transmit high priority cells with minimum delay. If switches are transmitting lower priority cells when a high priority cell arrives, higher priorit y cell transm ission quic kly commences when the lower priority transmission completes.

Node Identification

ATM end stations (nodes such as workstations) each have a unique connection to any ATM switch to whic h they connec t. The connection point at the switch is called a switch port and the switch is a local sw itc h for the node. A T M nodes each have a globally-unique network address. Ther e are various address schemes but, in most cases, n odes r eceiv e their assigne d networ k addre ss fr om the switch .

2-3

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide

To communicate with anot her node , an initiat ing node must initiat e a signaling r eq uest to the signali ng Virtual Channel Connection (VCC) residing within the local switch.

Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs)

Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) are either constr ucted manual l y or constructed by both nodes and all interv e ning switches. Manually constructed connec tions are called Permanent V irtual

Circuits (PVCs) and must be manually deconstructed. With Switched Virtual Connections (SVCs), one node ini tiates the VCC s e tu p p rocess

which proceeds switch-by-switch until the desired node is reached. ATM networks that provide SVCs are considered signaling environments. Finally VCCs can be point-to-po int, allow ing one transmitter and receiver for any cell, or multicast VCCs that allow one node to transmit a cell that many nodes receive.

An initiating node sends a connect ion setup re quest to its switch via a special signaling VCC. The signal ing VCC is an example of a control VCC - a VCC that re mains constan tly active. The switch then cooperates with other nodes to construct a virtual conn e ction that provides the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS). Link by link, the procedure r eserves t he bandwidth r equir ed by the connection. If the connection setup is successful, the nodes communicate using the VCC which is represented by a Virtual Channel Identi fier (VCI) and a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI). Together, the VCI and VPI identify the VCC for its duration, and communicating nodes reference the VPI/ VCI pair within each transmitted cell, permitting subsequent cell switching activity. When the communicat ion process is complete, one of the co mmunicating nodes initiates the SVC tear-down.

ATM SONET/SDH Support

SONET is an acronym for Synchr onous Optical Net work - the contemporary technology many North American telephone companies use to bundle and transport domestic voice data within Synchron ous Transport Signal (STS) data frames SDH is an acr onym for Synchronous Digital Hierarchy - the contemporary technology many European telephone companies use to bundle and transport domestic voice data Synchronous Transport Module (STM) data frames. Thro ugh i nt ern ational standardi zation efforts, SONET and SDH are essentially identical except that the smallest STM frame (STM-1) i s three times larger than the smallest STS frame (STS-1).

2-4

Introducing ATM Networking

ATM uses SONET and SHD technology to reduce costs while achieving high transmissio n rates. Es sen tially, ATM combines multiple STS-1 frames into STS superframes (STS-Nc, where N stands for some integer value) and li k ewise for STM-1 frames. Transmitting 8,000 single STS-1 frames at telephone company in a second, referr ed to a s STS -1 tr ansmi ssi on, produces a 51.84 Mbit /sec transmission rate.

An STS-3C transmission transmits 8,000 STS-3c superfram es in a second, each composed of three concatenated (combined) STS-1 frames. This produces a 155.52 Mbit/sec transmiss ion rate which is conve n ti o n a lly roun de d to 155 M b its/sec. The STS-3 c transm i s sion rate is identical to the STM-1 tr ansmission rat e . ATM supports, or will eventually support the following:

■

STS-1: 51.84 Mbits/sec

■

STS-3c: 155.52 Mbits/sec

■

STS-12c: 622.08 Mbits/sec

■

STS-24c: 1244.16 Mbits/sec

■

STS-48c: 2488.32 Mbits/sec

■

STS-192c: 9953.28 Mbits/sec

Adaptec ATM products currently support the STS-3C/STM-1 transmission rate of 155.51 Mbits/sec.

25.6 Mbit/sec ATM

ATM also supports 25.6 Mbit transmission speeds. Adaptec products pr ov iding this tran smission speed at tach t o switc hes which can subs eque n tly transpor t the data at any ATM transmissi on speed necessary to reach a nother switch or node.

Classical TCP/IP

A data communication protocol is a set of conventions that communicating entities observe to achieve unambiguous data exchange and the TCP/IP suite of p rotocols is the most commonly used data communication protocol suite. TCP/IP has prevailed because it is an extensible, effective data communication protocol suite des igned from the ground up to integrate disparate networks with het e rogeneous comp uters. Because of its interconnectivi ty origins, TCP/IP is essential to the Internet, which itself consists of

Classical IP Operational Summary

Within workstations, a TCP/IP commun ication protocol stack recei ves application data streams an d fragments the flows into datagram s. These datagrams can be up to 64 Kbytes long, thou gh they are usually much smaller to accommodate physical media constraints. Within the stack, IP components prepend datagram headers and deliver the datagram to MAC components, such as Ethernet components, for transmissi on. Intermediate routers route the IP datagrams to destinations, further fragmenting the datagrams into smaller datagrams if necessary. When datagrams arrive, perh a p s out of order, receiving host IP components reassemble the datagram s a nd corresponding TCP components re construct the original data stream before delivering the da ta to an applic atio n. IP prov id e s a connectionless, datagram transmission and routing conduit while TCP superimposes necessary guaranteed data delivery considerations between applications using mechanisms such as exponential back off and slow start up transmission rate flow controls as well as message receipt acknowledgments.

Within popular implementations, IP receives and delivers data fr om and to two widely available higher level layers, TCP and UDP. UDP

2-6

Introducing ATM Networking

stands for User Datagram Protocol. Both TCP and UDP have associated processes and applications that produce the messages and streams TCP and UDP receive and deliver. While TCP provides a reliable data transport mechanism to host applications including checksums, UDP provides applications-specific IP addresses but only provides its applic ations access onl y to IP’s connection less, unreliable de livery.

Classical IP over ATM

Within contemporary networks, host IP software and IP routers get datagram s fr om net work sour ces t o ne twork des tinati ons . Within an ATM network, the ATM adaptation layer inte rcepts and converts IP datagrams to and from cells. This spans the message transmission differences inherent within each commu nication design. However, it does not address the behavorial differences between components above this layer. For instance, unlike A TM, the legacy delivery process does not itself guarantee reli able, in-order delivery.

Because TCP/IP applications were designed in LAN environments that naturall y provided broadcast services that are unavailable with native AT M, other differences also require consideration before ATM can sea m l e s sly transp ort IP da ta g r ams. The s e m e ch a nisms reso lve IP addresses to ATM network addresses and provide TCP/IP’s Address Resolution Protoco l (ARP) support. Many of these considerations are re solve d in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request For Comment 1577 (RF C 1577). This document prov id e s p rotocols, collectively referred to as Classical IP over ATM, that introduce the concept of a Logical IP Subnet (LIS) - a group of ATM no des, LIS cl ients, that belong to the same IP subnet.

Within each LIS , a si ngle ATM ARP (ATMARP) re solves ATM addresses for the LIS clients. As nodes becom e opera tio na l, they contact their ATMARP server and provide ATM and IP address information to the ATMARP server. The server maintains a table containing this information and references it whene ver a LIS client requests IP ARP address resolution. When a LIS client obtain s the ATM addr ess of an other c li ent, it can esta blis h di r ect c ommun ica tion with the other LIS client using a conventio nal ATM connection. To ensure table accuracy and station mobility, the ATMARP server periodically dis ca rds old ent ries .

LAN Emulation

Clearly, ATM’s connection-oriented approach for communication is distinctly different from the broadcast-oriented approach traditional LANs use. ATM LAN Em ula tion, an industry-standard facility all Adaptec ATM adapters support, provides necessary mechanisms to address this requirement.

LAN emulation allows ATM networks to provide all services available within legacy LA N e nvi ronment s. With LAN emulation, ATM networks use their facilities to mimic communic ation establishment procedures occurring within broadcast-oriented legacy LANs. Once communication is established, ATM uses normal ATM connections to exchan ge messages , usually many ti mes faste r than with legacy LANs. Emulated LANs may con sist entirely of ATM e n d st ations , i nclude transpa rent bridges that connect exiting LANs to ATM networks, or both.

ATM LAN Emulation facilities consist of

■

LAN Emulation Clients (LECs)

■

LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)

■

LAN Emulation Server (LES)

■

Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS)

The fol lowing sections describe these components.

LAN Emulation Clients (LECs)

A LEC is an internal control VCC within end stations. LECs communicate with other LAN emu lation components and LECs to establish and provide LAN Emulation services. A LEC wholly comprises the interface between legacy applications and ATM networks. Therefore it must support various interfaces such as NDIS and ODI.

When co mmunica ting with ano ther LE C, Data Direct VCCs transport the data. For outbound data frames, LECs convert the LAN MAC addresses that legacy LAN applications use into ATM network addres ses and pass th e typic ally lar ge appli cati on data fr ames to the correct ATM layer (AAL5) for conversion into cells for transmission. For inbound cells, LECs reverse the process.

2-8

Introducing ATM Networking

LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)

A LECS usually resides within an A T M switch. When queried by a LEC over a Control Direct VCC, a LECS indicates what LAN(s) a L EC can participate in base d on inp ut from a networ k administrat or. LECs use the LECS to obtain the network address of the LES. A temporary VCC, that transports this information, is the Configuration Direct VCC.

LAN Emulation Server (LES)

The LES maintains a table of all ATM nodes participating within a LAN and can return appropriate values to querying nodes. The LES usually resides within a node’s local switch and helps determine node addresses.

To determi ne appropriate ATM addresses, a LEC main tains a table of recently determined conversion values. When a value is not within the table, a LEC contacts the LES using the LAN Emulation Address Resolution Protoco l (LEARP).

If a target n ode is an ATM end-station, the LES returns its address and the process is complete. Otherwise the node is connected to a legacy LAN which attaches to the ATM network using a transparent bridge. If the LES does not have the appropriate MAC conversion information to resolve addresses, the LES transmits associated LEARP messages to the LES in any known transparent bridge using Control Distribute VCCs. If a transparent bridge LEC recognizes the specified MAC address, it provides the address to the original requesting LEC and provide s neces sa ry mes s age -pas si ng facilit ies.

Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS)

Occasionally, applications sen d LECs messages intende d to be broadca st to all LAN mem bers . In this instan ce, the LEC p asses the message to the BUS using a multicast VCC. The BUS then tran smits the message to each participating LAN node using a multicast using A TM multicast facilities. Receiving LECs filter these messages using the node address and pass survi ving messages to in te nded recipients.
