TRP: An ATM Interoperability Testbed for the National Information Infrastructure

Kenneth Young Bellcore、Tektronix、联合互操作性测试司令部（JITC）和宾夕法尼亚大学将实施ATM互操作性测试平台，以开发工具、程序和标准，促进ATM产品之间的互操作性。该项目将包括用于互操作性测试系统开发的ATM技术的三个关键领域。这些领域是：1)ATM信令互操作性，2)ATM流量管理互操作性，以及3)更高层协议互操作性。之所以选择这些领域，是因为与ATM相关的信令、流量管理和更高层协议（如互联网协议- IP）的标准正在迅速成熟，并将在与本项目研究和开发一致的时间框架内在产品中实现。

NCR-9520963 Kenneth Young Bellcore, Tektronix, the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), and the University of Pennsylvania will implement an ATM Interoperability Testbed to develop tools, procedures, and standards that promote interoperability among ATM products. The project will include three key areas of ATM technology for the development of interoperability testing systems. These areas are 1) ATM signaling Interoperability, 2) ATM traffic management interoperability, and 3) higher-layer protocol interoperability. These areas are chosen because standards for signaling, traffic management and higher layer protocols (e.g. Internet Protocol- IP) as they related to ATM are maturing rapidly and will be implemented in products in a time frame that is consistent with this project's research and development.
