Current trends in communications technology indicate that asynchronous transfer mode is likely to become invariant for both computer and human communications In this paper we investigate the performance of different methods to increase the suitability of packet switching for time-critical and content critical applications (for example packet video or voice, and network control). We mplore the performance of several input queueing switch models, and the output queueing model and then discuss differences in delay and throughput performance. We then study the prioritizzation mechanisms in more detail and show results for some switch models.

In 1988 the BERKOM field trial became operational, demonstrating the first broadband exchange and transmission system that is fully based on ISDN. The product version of an ISDN exchange (System 12) has been enhanced by broadband circuit switches for 2 Mbit/s and 140 Mbit/s. Signalling for both narrowband and broadband channels is performed via an extended D-channel protocol with service indicators for identification of the various channels and channel types. 150 Mbit/s transmission equipment has been installed for 30 subscribers covering lengths of up to 30 km. The system makes use of the wavelength division multiplexing tech- niques for the realization of bidirectional transmission via a single monomode fiber per subscriber. A system enhancement has been realized by supporting distribution services: TV and stereo sound The transmission equipment with a speed of 600 Mbit/s provides for the subscriber up to 4 different TV channels simultaneously, which can be selected out of 48

This paper describes the Pan-European digital mobile communication system, defined by GSM, which is called in the following the 'GSM-System, its basic characteristis and its influence on the implementation strategy. The first part deals with the basic characteristics of the GSM-System, its system elements and the interworking between these elements. Network scenarios explain the overall message flow through the system. The second part highlights strategies for the implementation of system elements. It describes the requirements to be fulfilled by elements like Base Station, Mobile Services Switching Center Visitor and Home Location Register, Authentication Center and Operation and Maintenance Center. The third part deals with strategies for the mobile com munication network architecture and associated network topologies. The questions of overlay network and integration of the GSM-System into the ISDN are treated, as well as the associated interfacing strategies. The fourth part explaines in more detail basic implementation strategiesfor various system elements. Special emphasis is put on how an JSDN exchange will be expanded to provide the additional GSM functionality of a Mobile Services Switching Center (MSC). It will be demonstrated how the Visitor Location Register (VLR) and Equipment Identity Register (EIR) databases may be integrated in the ISDN exchange.

It has been more than ten years since the specification and standardization of OSI Reference Model started, yet rather few implementations have been done. One reason is that such implementation work isa formidable task. In this paper we describe our method designing and implementing a general purpose OSI stack. To begin with we give a short description of our operational environment, the DX 200 switching system. Then we discuss the major problems in implementing OSI stacks. The solutions we propose are based on the software toolbox called CVOPS. CVOPS includes a tool for implementation and testing of portable computer communications software and an ASN.1 to C compiler. In the rest of the paper we describe our OSI architecture which provides two application services, namely FTAM for file transfer and CMISE for networt management. Our implementa tion operates on the X. 25 Packet Switched Public Data Network and an CCITT's Common Channel Signalling System No 7. The implementation architecture is based on the distribution of the OSI layers. We also briefly discuss the background of distribution strategy.

Intelligent Network (IN) architectureplanners envision many different kinds of network structure to provide service offerings. These structures vary from arrangements where service logic is located in the switch to those where it is located in a Network Element (NE) physically remote from the switch. This service logic is expressed through Service Logic Programs (SLPs). SLP placement in one, or several of a wide variety of locations is considered. This paper analyzes different classes of service, identifies their characteristics, and presents tradeoffs to be considered in the implementation of individual services. In addition, considerations of the effects of service descriptions and groupings, as well as service performance, economics, dependability, operations support, and billing needs on SLP placement are included.

The public switched network has undergone significant evo lution over the last several decades. While survivability of the network has been an important consideration throughout this evolution, it was often survivability of individual network components rather than the network as a whole. The Hinsdale central office fire proved the need for integration and equal consideration of all network components in network design for survivability. Ongoing integration will become increasingly important if the public switched network is to keeppace with future advances in technology and demands from the marketplace for reliable quality service.

Some of the services to be carried over ATM networks, notably high-speed data communications, are likely to generate traffic which is highly bursty, ie. characterized by long streams of cells destined for a common address. A number of possible models for this traffic are described and its effects on cell delay and buffer requirements in the network are analyzed. lt is argued that buffers of length at least several hundred cells may be required at each switch output to provide acceptable cell loss rates. The results are shown to be quite sensitive to the assumed traffic model suggesting that accurate models will be critical to network design. While traffic at the edge of the network can be modeled by assuming certain behavior for the traffic sources, it is not clear how the characteristics of traffic are altered as it moves through the network. A simulation study to determine whether traffic becomes more or less bursty as itprogresses through the network has been undertaken; the resulls presented here indicate that the average burstiness decreases, suggesting tha4 at a given occupancy, lower delay and cell loss be expected from switches at the interior of the network than from those at the edges. Such information will be of considerable inportance for the designers of future ATM networks.
