Gigabit Ethernet And ATM Interworking
White Papers Such procedures become even more mission-critical as the number of network components grows exponentially and the communications system incorporates faster speeds, larger databases, and demanding applications.

Quality Of Service Interworking: Ethernet And ATM Solutions
White Papers QoS has become a major issue on the Internet as well as in enterprise networks, because voice and video are increasingly traveling over IP-based data networks that were not originally designed for continuous speech or viewing.

Desktop ATM Versus Fast Ethernet
White Papers This paper provides a comparative analysis of current LAN technologies, including such considerations as flexibility, conformance to standards, efficiency, ease of use, security, control, management, cost, and overall performance.

Wireless Optical Transmission Of Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, And ESCON Protocol Data
White Papers The TerraLink laser communication (lasercom) system was developed as a cost-effective, high-bandwidth, wireless alternative to fiber optic transmission. However, free-space lasercom is subject to atmospheric effects, such as attenuation and...

Riverstone Networks 15K Pseudo-Wire Emulation Statement Of Direction
White Papers As Ethernet takes its place as the access and aggregation infrastructure of choice, and as carriers cap their investment in legacy TDM, ATM, and Frame Relay technologies, there is a growing need to connect these existing deployments across the new...

LAN Emulation And MPOA
White Papers LAN emulation (LANE) is a standard defined by the ATM Forum that provides ATM-attached stations the same capabilities they normally obtain from legacy LANs, such as Ethernet and Token Ring. By making an ATM interface look like one or more separate...

Metro Ethernet Services Over ATM Networks (EoATM)
White Papers However, Ethernet has emerged as viable high-speed access technology and has a clear cost advantage over ATM. Service providers can leverage their ATM investments to generate revenue growth by introducing new Ethernet access services.

Wide Area And Long Haul Gigabit Ethernet: The LAN Is Invading The WAN
White Papers A few years ago it was expected that wide area technologies such as ATM would be the unifying protocol to integrate LAN and WAN networks. However ATM largely failed to penetrate the LAN market. Ethernet based networks may end up as the all...

Ethernet Takes A Step Towards Service Providers
News In order to become the ubiquitous local area network (LAN) standard that it is, Ethernet has had to see off several competitors, including token ring, ATM-on-the-LAN and FDDI. Standards like ATM still rule the world in these areas, for the longest...

Networking In The Fast LANE
White Papers When introduced, ATM showed promise as an Ethernet killer. A few enterprise customers, however, adopted ATM as a LAN technology because of its complexity, lack of LAN services and high price of implementation.

Ethernet And VPLS: The Keys To A Successful Triple-Play Network
White Papers Consequently, carriers are rapidly changing their network infrastructure, migrating to IP DSLAMs instead of ATM DSLAMs and using Gigabit Ethernet for DSL aggregation instead of ATM. These problems include DSLAM bandwidth limitations and ATM...

Prepare For Gigabit Ethernet
News ATM was originally touted as the replacement for Ethernet. However, ATM can be costly. This not only leads to better efficiency than you'd get with ATM, but it also means less complexity and therefore less chance that something will go wrong.

Ethernet Marches Towards Telecoms Domination
News But other industry figures point out that there are several problems to overcome before Ethernet supplants existing network technologies such as ATM and Frame Relay. Since that time, it has become the connectivity method of choice for local area...

MPLS Based Transparent LAN Services
White Papers But a serious challenge faces Ethernet-based MSPs: offering business customers the advanced services already available on ATM or frame relay networks. Furthermore, IP tunnels do not offer the kind of QoS guarantees available with ATM VCs, nor the...

The Benefits Of Net To Net Technologies' IPacket™ DSL Solutions
White Papers For transport technologies that dictate cell-based transport as part of a technology specification, such as ADSL, IPacket allows cell-based transport using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), within the guidelines of the packet-based network.

Telco-friendly Ethernet 'ready For Action'
News Until now, metro networking has come at the cost of of a major step change from Ethernet to more expensive, less familiar and less flexible technologies like ATM or Sonet/SDH," said Chen. The MEF specifications couch network parameters in terms...

3Com Gets Back To The Enterprise
News We actually exited the market for large complex chassis switches, often based around ATM, and shifted to Gigabit Ethernet. Extreme was the doyen of Gigabit Ethernet companies and would not have taken those customers if they could not be moved...

Superfast DSL Shows Its Pace
News It is absolutely essential that VDSL chip suppliers be familiar with both ATM (the standard telco voice and data protocol) and Ethernet, particularly for central-office applications," Richard Sekar, vice president of marketing at Ikanos, told...

Ethernet Promises Cheaper Broadband
News Will they continue the traditional rollout of ATM-based ADSL, or will they move to public Ethernet? Ericsson's Ethernet DSL Access is based on DSLAMs (DSL access modules -- the systems which provide a DSL connection from the telephone exchange to...
