Abstract :
ATM being a connection-oriented technology, there will be a need for connection-oriented service on LANs to be able to provide seamless internetworking between LANs and ATM broadband networks. We present a general technique to provide connection-oriented service on LANs and then show how this technique is incorporated into a recently designed multimedia LAN (MLAN) protocol. The results are presented of a performance evaluation of the MLAN protocol with connection-oriented service
