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

native wide area connectivity, scaleable bandwidth, and bandwidth

Wide Area Co n nectivity

International telephone companies have standardized ATM to
support their domestic telephone voice traffic. As nations deploy
their individual ATM networks, A TM’s standard definition makes it
easy to in terconnect these various ATM networks into a cooperati ve
integrated global network.

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.

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

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

LAN Emulation

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.
