Abstract

Future networks must offer extremely high levels of reliability because information has become critical to the continued well-being of society. This article shows the approaches to the survivable ATM network. The reliability requirements of future networks are discussed first. Development results of three typical restoration architectures (automatic protection switch (APS), self-healing network (SHN), and failure-resistant virtual path (FRVP)) for ATM networks are then shown. Next, we describe current progress in standardization activities. They also discuss open issues that must be resolved in future studies
