Abstract :
With the emerging ATM broadband networks, there will be a need for connectivity between LANs and broadband networks. The possibility of seamless internetworking between these networks has generated a significant research interest in providing connection-oriented service over LANs. Also, the multimedia nature of traffic is likely to necessitate a connection-oriented service for communication among the LAN terminals as well as between a LAN terminal and non-LAN terminals on ATM networks. We present a technique to provide connection-oriented service on LANs employing a bandwidth reservation scheme. Then we show how this technique is incorporated into a multimedia LAN (MLAN) protocol to provide connection-oriented service. The performance of the protocol under connection-oriented service is evaluated and the results are presented
