Suppose that instead of ATM, BISDN had adopted a transfer mode that would provide constant-bit- rate connections with bit rates given by integer multiples of 64 kbps connections. Comment on the multiplexing and switching procedures that would be required to provide this transfer mode. Can you give some reasons why BISDN did not adopt this transfer mode? Solution: In terms of multiplexing, flows could be aggregated into integer multiples of 64 kbps. This type of multiplexing is easy to implement and is widely deployed in telephone networks. The difficulty is with switching, where new designs are required to provide connections that are multiple integers of 64 kbps. In these switches various inputs and outputs are connected by pipes that are integer multiples of 64 kbps. Time-slot interchange techniques do not lend themselves readily to this type of transfer. In addition, this proposed transfer mode lacks flexibility to adapt to variable bit rate traffic and traffic rates that don’t easily fit into an integer multiple of 64 kbps. ATM was designed to be able to efficiently handle all types of traffic, whether fixed- or variable-rate. In addition, a multirate transfer mode would require over-provisioning to handle bursty and VBR traffic. 9.2a. Compare the bandwidth management capabilities provided by ATM virtual paths to the capabilities provided by SONET networks. Solution: SONET uses the SONET multiplexing hierarchy, virtual tributaries and add-drop multiplexers to route
