TLDR
This report is a tutorial aimed at providing the reader with background information that is necessary to understand the debate about potential virtues and shortcomings of the ATM.Abstract:
The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the switching and multiplexing technique chosen by CCITT for the broadband access to the ISDN. The user-network interface offers one physical channel over which connections are multiplexed using short, fixed length packets (called cells). The ATM layer in the network performs relaying functions, with every cell carrying a label used for switching. This report is a tutorial. It aims at providing the reader with background information that is necessary to understand the debate about potential virtues and shortcomings of the ATM.read more

Scheduling policies for an on-demand video server with batching
TL;DR: It is shown that an FCFS policy that schedules the movie with the longest outstanding request can perform better than the MQL policy that chooses the film with the maximum number of outstanding requests.

Skyscraper broadcasting: a new broadcasting scheme for metropolitan video-on-demand systems
Kien A. Hua,Simon Sheu +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigates a novel multicast technique, called Skyscraper Broadcasting (SB), for video-on-demand applications, and is able to achieve the low latency of PB while using only 20% of the buffer space required by PPB.

An architecture and methodology for mobile-executed handoff in cellular ATM networks
TL;DR: An architecture is presented for a high-speed cellular radio access network based on ATM transport technology which avoids the need to involve the network call processor for every cell handoff attempt and which can readily support a very high rate of handoffs.

Dynamic batching policies for an on-demand video server
TL;DR: It is shown that a first come, first served (FCFS) policy that schedules the video with the longest outstanding request can perform better than the maximum queue length (MQL) policy, and multicasting is better exploited by scheduling playback of the most popular videos at predetermined, regular intervals (hence, termed FCFS-n).

Method and apparatus for multiple media digital communication system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a digital communication system where multiple media data sources are time multiplexed into a packetized data stream, each packet having an assigned priority and the packetised data stream transmitted in substantially the order of assigned priority.

A scheme for real-time channel establishment in wide-area networks
Domenico Ferrari,Dinesh C. Verma +1 more
TL;DR: The results are judged encouraging: the approach satisfies the guarantees even in worst case situations, uses the network's resources to a fair extent, and efficiently handles channels with a variety of offered load and burstiness characteristics.

Performance models of statistical multiplexing in packet video communications
TL;DR: This demonstrates that statistical or asynchronous time-division multiplexing (TDM) can efficiently absorb temporal variations of the bit rate of individual sources without the significant variations in reception quality exhibited by multimode videocoders for synchronous TDM or circuit-switched transmission.

An architecture for real-time multimedia communication systems
TL;DR: The architecture presented attempts to integrate communications protocols used to transport the real-time data and the distributed computing system (DCS) within which any applications using the protocols must execute in a smooth fashion.

ATM: bandwidth assignment and bandwidth enforcement policies
TL;DR: Two techniques are presented: the class-related rule and the virtual leaky bucket mechanism that can effectively solve the bandwidth-assignment problem for ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) when different classes of services are multiplexed on the same network trunk.

Israel Cidon,Inder Sarat Gopal +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes a design of a high-speed packet switching system for integrated voice, video and data communications that makes use of a simplified network architecture in order to achieve the low packet delay and high nodal throughput necessary for the transport of voice and video.
