Abstract
This letter proposes ALPEN, a simple, flexible and cost effective ATM- WAN architecture that emulates multiple ATM-layer protocols at the edg e nodes. Any new ATM-layer protocol can be easily implemented by modif ying only the edge nodes. The transit network is simple and independen t of the protocols emulated, and ALPEN has a short response time. It i s very suitable for implementing mutimedia ATM networks.
