Abstract

DTM is an optical network with bandwidth reservation and support for dynamic reallocation of bandwidth. DTM is designed for real-time multimedia applications and for high-speed computer communication. DTM provides a service with real-time guarantees: it allows reservation of bandwidth, and has constant delay between two nodes. DTM uses a novel medium-access technique and provides a multicast channel service. The paper describes how resources are reserved in DTM, and describes a DTM prototype implementation to demonstrate that the protocols can be implemented efficiently.<>
