- DRAFT TIA bulletin: Traffic Management in ATM Networks
Over Satellite Links
- Abstract:
This report presents a survey of the traffic management issues in the
designing and implementation of satellite-ATM networks. First a reference
satellite-ATM network architecture is presented along with an overview of
the service categories available in ATM networks. The error characteristics
of satellite channels, and techniques to improve the error characteristics,
and the impact on ATM network performance are then discussed. A delay
model for satellite networks and the major components of delay and delay
variation are described. A survey of design options for TCP over UBR, GFR
and ABR services in ATM is presented next. The main focuses is on traffic
management issues. Several recommendations on the design options for
efficiently carrying data services over satellite-ATM networks are presented.
