Impact of ATM on JADS

Abstract

This report investigates the feasibility of an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network to support Test and Evaluation (T&E) requirements such as the Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) phase two end-to-end (ETE) test. It gives a broad overview of ATM and discusses how an ATM network could support JADS ETE T&E efforts. This report reviews key concepts behind ATM such as service classes, quality of service, and available signaling types. Two methods of running Internet Protocols (IP) applications over ATM are discussed. These two methods are: classical IP over ATM and Local Area Network Emulation (LANE). Applications running ATM in the native mode are also discussed. A JADS phase two ETE test configuration for T&E is discussed and a potential configuration for running this test over an ATM network is presented. Equipment costs and ATM service costs are given. Questions raised by the JADS T&E community are answered.
