Abstract

This paper describes the design of the next generation asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) architecture to be used by the US military and the commercial marketplace, called survivable ATM. Survivable ATM consists of three main components: (1) the transmission error control system (TECS), (2) reliable ATM adaptation layer (AAL), and (3) the network management system. These three components deliver a set of previously unavailable capabilities to achieve and maintain reliable performance of commercial ATM technology in wireless environments
