TRP: An ATM Interoperability Testbed for the National Information Infrastructure

NCR-9520963 Kenneth Young Bellcore、泰克、联合互操作性测试司令部（JITC）和宾夕法尼亚大学将实施一个ATM互操作性测试床，以开发促进ATM产品间互操作性的工具、程序和标准。该项目将包括ATM技术的三个关键领域，用于开发互操作性测试系统。这些领域是1）ATM信令互操作性，2）ATM业务管理互操作性，和3）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、业务管理和高层协议（例如，互联网协议- IP）的标准正在迅速成熟，并将在与本项目的研究和开发相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.
