Architecture Frame Relay Layers Extended Address FRADs VOFR LMI Topics discussed in this section: 18. Figure Frame Relay network 18. VCIs in Frame Relay are called DLCIs. Note 18. Figure Frame Relay layers 18. Frame Relay operates only at the physical and data link layers. Note 18. Figure Frame Relay frame 18. Frame Relay does not provide flow or error control; they must be provided by the upper-layer protocols. Note 18. Figure Three address formats 18. Figure FRAD 18. 18-2 ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the cell relay protocol designed by the ATM Forum and adopted by the ITU-T. Design Goals Problems Architecture Switching ATM Layers Topics discussed in this section: 18. Figure Multiplexing using different frame sizes 18. A cell network uses the cell as the basic unit of data exchange. A cell is defined as a small, fixed-size block of information. Note 18. Figure Multiplexing using cells 18. Figure ATM multiplexing 18. Figure Architecture of an ATM network 18. Figure TP, VPs, and VCs 18. Figure Example of VPs and VCs 18. Note that a virtual connection is defined by a pair of numbers: the VPI and the VCI. Note 18. Figure Connection identifiers 18. Figure Virtual connection identifiers in UNIs and NNIs 18. Figure An ATM cell 18. Figure Routing with a switch 18. Figure ATM layers 18. Figure ATM layers in endpoint devices and switches 18. Figure ATM layer 18. Figure ATM headers 18. Figure AAL1 18. Figure AAL2 18. Figure AAL3/4 18. Figure AAL5 18. 18-3 ATM LANs ATM is mainly a wide-area network (WAN ATM); however, the technology can be adapted to local-area networks (ATM LANs). The high data rate of the technology has attracted the attention of designers who are looking for greater and greater speeds in LANs. ATM LAN Architecture LAN Emulation (LANE) Client/Server Model Mixed Architecture with Client/Server Topics discussed in this section: 18. Figure ATM LANs 18. Figure Pure ATM LAN 18. Figure Legacy ATM LAN 18. Figure Mixed architecture ATM LAN 18. Figure Client and servers in a LANE 18. Figure Client and servers in a LANE 18.
