IP Data Transmission Models for ATM

With the advent of ATM networking, network designers realized that an integration of existing IP data transmission frameworks with the power of ATMs could provide an answer to the ever-increasing bandwidth and speed requirements of organizations. In an attempt to integrate IP and ATM, data transmission models such as Next Hop Routing Protocol (NHRP) and Private Network to Network Interface (PNNI) have been proposed. In the initial steps towards integrating IP and ATM, RFC 1577 proposed a data transmission model that helps overcome hurdles in integrating the two data transmission models. Although the proposed solutions in RFC 1577 have now been improved and deprecated, the solutions signify the fundamental ...
