M. Calierno et al., EARLY DEPLOYMENT OF ATM IN ACCESS NETWORKS - A NODE ARCHITECTURE WHICH SUPPORTS EVOLUTION, GEC journal of research, 12(3), 1995, pp. 153-162
This paper commences with an introduction to ATM. It then explains why
an evolutionary approach is necessary for early cost-effective implem
entations of ATM in public access networks. Finally this paper gives a
n overview of the type of ATM equipment currently being designed in ac
cordance with this strategy.
