Abstract :
This paper presents the design and implementation of a high-performance ATM bridge. The proposed ATM bridge can be used to interconnect IEEE 802.3/Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u/fast Ethernet, and IEEE 802.11N/wireless LANs. Data traffic is filtered out or forwarded to other homogeneous LANs by a proprietary LAN emulation technology, which is compatible with the ATM LAN emulation (LANE) specification. Enhanced capability including the support for emulated fast Ethernets and wireless LANs are provided by the proposed ATM bridge. A QoS guaranteed traffic scheduling algorithm is also proposed for the wireless LANs
