Introducing ATM Networking

As a technology, ATM represents a sharp departur e from LAN alternatives such as traditional Ethernets that typi cally rely on shared transmission media. That is, with Ethernet, several nodes often contend for the right to transmit over shared cable segments that support only one transmi ssion at a time. When a node successf ully captures the media, it transmits its message at the maximum allowed speed, completel y consuming the media . However, even in the best of circumstances, it is not unusual for two or more nodes to b e gi n transm i t ting at the sa me time an d i nte rfere with each othe rs transmission. Eth ernet’s des ign anticipates and compensates for unpredictable transmission collisions that occur.

How ATM Works

In contrast to other met hods, A T M isolate s network nodes by for cing them to attach to ATM switches u s ing dedicated connections. ATM switches then interconnect and cooperate with each other to form a network and provide communication connections. While an ATM node has full use of its switch attachment link, nodes share th e capacity of the links connecting the switches. Unlike Et hernet netw or k s , th is shari ng i s la rg e ly in visible to th e n odes. Bec ause of this and other considerations, ATM provides numerous advantages and capabilities that are difficult or impossible to obtain with legacy LAN approaches. Perhaps the most important ATM benefits are its

Intro ducing ATM Networking

Scaleab le bandwidth

ATM defines how ATM end-stations, such as your PC or workstation, connect to ATM switches and how ATM switches interconnect with each oth e r. Because these variou s connections consist of dedicated links, their construction (metal wire or fiber optic) and the transmission speed they support may vary from link to link. When connections requir e hi gh er s peed, i t is usually easy to upgrade the connection without di srupting other network nodes and switches, upgrading transmi ssion 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 nec e ssary bandwidth is available along the entire route does the connection setup complete successfully. ATM’s guaranteed bandwi dth allows connections to transport audio, video, and image data that is sensit iv e to time delays that occur when bandwidth is unpredictable as it is with Ethernet.

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide

To communicate with another node, an initiating node must initiate a signaling r eq uest to the signali ng V i rtual Channel Connection (VCC) residing within the local switch.

Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs)

Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) are either constructed manually or constructed by both nodes and all intervening switches. Manually constructed connec tions are called Permanent Virtual

Circuits (PVCs) and must be manually deconstructed. With Switched V irtual Connections (SVCs), one node in itiates the VCC setup process

which proceeds switch-by-swi tch until the desired node is reached. ATM networks that provide SVCs are considered signaling environments. Finally VCCs can be point-to-point, allowing one transmitter and receiver for any cell, or multi cast VCC s that allow one node to transmit a cell that many nodes receive.

An initiating node se nds a connection setup request to its switch via a special signaling VCC. The signal ing VCC is an example of a control VCC - a VCC that remains const a ntly activ e . The switch then cooperates with other node s to construct a virtual con nection that provides the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS). Link by link, the procedure r eserves the band width requir ed by the c onnection. If the connection setup is successful, the nodes communicate using the VCC which is represented by a Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) and a V irtual Path Identifier (VPI). Together, the VCI and VPI identify the VCC for its durati on, and communic ating nodes ref erence the VPI/ VCI pair within each transmitted cel l, permitting subseq uent cell switching activity. When the communication process is complete, one of the communicating n odes initiat e s the SVC tear- down.

ATM SONET/SDH Support

SONET is an acronym for Synchronous Optical Network - the contemporary technology many North American telephone companies use to bundle and transport domestic voice data within Synchr onous Transport Si gnal (STS) da ta frame s SDH is an acronym 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. Through international stan dardization efforts, SONET and SDH are essentially identic al except that the smallest STM frame (STM-1) is three times larg er than the smallest STS frame (STS-1).

Intro ducing ATM Networking

ATM uses SONET and SHD technology to reduce costs while achieving high transmiss io n rates . Essen tially, ATM combin e s 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, r eferr ed to as STS-1 tr ansmis sion , pr oduces a 5 1.84 Mbit /sec transmission rate.

An STS-3C transmission transmits 8,000 STS-3c superframes in a second, each composed of three concatenated (combined) STS-1 frames. This produces a 155.52 Mbit/sec transmission rate which is conventionally rounded to 155 Mbits/sec. The STS-3c transmission rate is identical to the STM-1 transmission rate. 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 th e 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 providing this transmis sion speed attach to switches which can subsequently transport the data at any ATM transmissi on speed necessary to reach another switch or node.

Classical TCP/IP

A data co mmuni ca t i on protoco l is a se t of co n venti ons that communicating entities observe to achieve unambiguous data exchange and the TCP/IP suite of protocols is the most commonly used data communication protocol suite. TCP/IP has prevailed because i t is an extensible, effe ctive data communication protocol suite designed from the ground up to integrate disparate networks with heterogeneous computers. Because of its interconnectivity origins, TCP/IP is essential to the Internet, which itself consists of

Classi cal IP Operational Summ ary

Within workstations, a TCP/IP communication protocol stack recei ves application data stre ams and fragments the flows into datagram s. These datagr ams can be up to 64 Kbytes long, though 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 transmission. Intermediat e routers route the IP datagrams to destinations, further fragmenting the datagrams into smaller datagrams if necessary. When datagrams arr ive, perhaps out of orde r, receiving host IP components reassemble the datagram s a nd corresponding TCP compon e nt s reconstruct the original data stream before delive ring the data to an applica tion. IP provides a connectionless, datagram transmission and routing conduit while TCP superimposes necessary guaranteed data delivery considerations between applications using mechanisms such as expone ntial back off and slow start u p transmission rate flow controls as well as message receipt acknowledgments.

Withi n popular implementations, IP receives and delivers data from and to two widely available higher level layers, TCP and UDP. UDP

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 inclu di ng checksums, UDP provides applications-specific IP addresses but only provides its applications access only to IP’s connectionless, unreliable delivery.

Classical IP over ATM

Within contemporary networks, host IP software and IP routers get datagram s fr om net work sour ces t o n etwo rk desti nat io ns. Within an ATM network, the ATM adaptation layer intercepts and converts IP datagram s to and from cell s. This spans the message transmi ssion dif f erenc e s inheren t within each commun ication design. However, it does not address the behavorial differences betwe en components above this layer. For instance, unlike ATM, the legacy delivery process does not itself guarantee reliabl e, in-order delivery.

Because TCP/IP applications were designed in LAN environments that naturall y provided broadcast services that are unav ai lable with native ATM, other differences also require consideration before ATM can sea m l e s sly transp ort IP data g rams. Th e s e m e ch a n i sms resolve IP addresses to ATM network addresses and provide TC P/IP’s Address Resolution Protoco l (ARP) support. Many of these considerations are resolved in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request For Comment 1577 (RF C 1577). This document provides protocols, collectively referred to as Classical IP over ATM, that introduce the concept of a

Clearly, ATM’s connection-oriented approa ch f o r co mmunica t i on is distinctly different from the broadcast-oriented approach traditional LANs u s e. ATM LAN Emulation, a n 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 facilit ies to mimic communicati o n establishment procedures occurring within broadcast-oriented legacy LANs. Once communication is established, ATM uses normal ATM connect ions to exchange messag es, u suall y many times faste r than with legacy LAN s. Emulated LANs may consist entirely of ATM end stations, include transparent 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 emulation components and LECs to establish and provide LAN Emulation services. A LEC wholly comprises the interface between legacy applications and AT M network s . Th e refore it must support various interfac e s 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 address es and pass th e typic ally large ap pli cati on data fra mes to the correct ATM layer (AAL5) for conversion into cells for transmission. For inbound cells, LECs reverse the process.

Intro ducing ATM Networking

LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)

A LECS usually resides within an ATM switch. When queried by a LEC over a Control Direct VCC, a LECS indicates what L AN(s) a LEC can part ic ipate in based on input from a network administr ator. 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 wit hin a LAN and can return appropriate values t o querying nodes. The LES usually resides within a node’s local sw itch an d help s determ ine node addresses.

To determine appropriate ATM addresses, a LEC maintains 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 targ e t node is an ATM end-station, the LES returns its address and the process is complete. Otherwise the node is connected to a legacy LA N which attaches to the ATM network using a transparent bridge. If the LES does not have the appropriate MAC conversion information to resolve addresse s, the LES transmits ass ociated 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 provides necessa ry me ssag e-p assing f acilit ies .

Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS)

Occasionally, applications send LECs message s intended to be broadcas t to al l LAN membe rs. In this in stan ce, the LEC pa sses the message to the BUS using a multicast VCC. The BUS then transm its 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 surviving messages to intended recipients.
