Throughput Characterization of a PC with a High Speed ATM Network Interface

Abstract

With the broad acceptance of the ATM technology, development of the related host-interface has been actively carried out. We have built an ATM/TAXI network interface card for the ISA-bus based Personal Computer (PC) host. Two FPGAs that support the TAXI interface and the ATM/AAL5 functions are implemented for such a high speed communication interface. Based on this prototype, we measure individual communication protocol stack throughputs and compare them with those of the Ethernet network. We then derive a design guideline for improving the system throughput of an ATM PC host.
