CDA 9529488 Hughes，赫尔曼D. 作者：麦金利，Philip K. 作者：Matt W. 密歇根州立大学 CISE ATM网络研究仪器 密歇根州立大学（MSU）的计算机科学系请求支持购买设备，以升级现有的研究实验室，即高速网络性能实验室（HSNP）。 HSNP成立于1993年，主要由NSF提供支持，并由AT T基金会和MSU提供额外资金。 本实验室支持一个由异步传输模式（ATM）交换机组成的测试平台，这些交换机通过光纤链路与一组10 -10工作站互连。 为了服务于越来越多的教师和学生（包括研究生和本科生）有兴趣在实验研究活动与HSNP的使命，需要额外的设备。 为提供更多的研究机会而对现有设施进行升级所必需的设备包括：（1）一个ATM通信量发生器/分析器，（2）现有ATM交换机和接口卡的OC-3升级包，（3）一个ATM SynOptics交换机和接口卡，（4）一个RAID磁盘存储系统，（5）与ATM有关的软件，以及（6）先进的多媒体工作站。 所要求的设备将用于提高正在进行的和未来的ATM技术研究的质量和范围（例如，多媒体业务建模、业务监管机制、带宽分配算法、缓冲区管理方案和准入控制算法）以及分布式并行计算、性能分析和互操作性中的高速联网问题。 本研究的结果将有助于ATM技术的发展，以支持高速网络上的多媒体应用。

CDA 9529488 Hughes, Herman D. McKinley, Philip K. Mutka, Matt W. Michigan State University CISE Research Instrumentation for ATM Networking The Computer Science Department at Michigan State University (MSU) requested support to purchase equipment for upgrading an existing research laboratory, the High-Speed Networking & Performance Laboratory (HSNP). HSNP was established in 1993, with primary support from NSF and additional funds from the AT&T Foundation and MSU. This Laboratory supports a testbed that consists of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches interconnected by fiber optics links to a collection of SPARC-10 workstations. In order to serve the growing number of faculty and students (both graduate and undergraduate) interested in experimental research activities associated with the mission of HSNP, additional equipment is needed. The equipment essential for upgrading the current facilities to provide expanded research opportunities includes: (1) An ATM traffic generator/analyzer, (2) OC-3 upgrade packages for existing ATM switches and Interface cards, (3) An ATM SynOptics switch and Interface card, (4) A RAID disk storage system, (5) ATM-related software, and (6) Advanced multimedia workstations. This requested equipment will be used to enhance both the quality and scope of on-going as well as future research in ATM technology (e.g., multimedia traffic modeling, traffic policing mechanisms, bandwidth allocation algorithms, buffer management schemes, and admission control algorithms) and in high-speed networking issues in distributed parallel computing, performance analysis, and interoperability. The results of this research will contribute to the development of ATM technology to support multimedia applications over high-speed networks.
