This chapter considers the functions for switching, transmission and signalling (control) of the ATM network, that is an end-to-end ATM link for the transport of the user's information in ATM cells.
Abstract
The main purpose of the ATM network is to provide ATM connectivity, that is an end-to-end ATM link for the transport of the user's information in ATM cells. To achieve this requires switching and transmission, together with the necessary control and management. This chapter considers the functions for switching, transmission and signalling (control).
