INTRODUCTION TO ATM
This course has been designed to provide delegates with a basic theoretical knowledge of Asynchronous Transfer Mode data communication technology. First the course provides an overview of the LAN and Telephone Networks which ATM can provide transport services, the course then looks at how ATM is able to carry these two different services at the same time and provide the necessary quality of Service for each of them. This is achieved by taking the ATM Protocol Model and discussing each layer in detail.
Prerequisites
A basic knowledge of TCP/IP.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this class, participants will be able to:
- Understand the ATM Technology, its Protocols and its capability.
- Understands how, ATM manages different services on to its Network and maintains the required quality of service.
- Understands that ATM uses cells to transport data and each Cell uses header information to control the path used through the network and know the different types of cell Header.
- Determine Traffic Management configuration needed for the different types of media connected to an ATM Network.
- Understand the need for the two signalling protocols, UNI (User to Network interface) and PNNI (Network to Network Interface) Signalling.
- Understand configuration of Permanent Virtual Connections (PVC) and the Smart Permanent Virtual Connection (SPVC).
- Understand the configuration of the Switched Virtual Circuit and LANE (LAN Emulation) which uses the SVC to provide its connections.
