Abstract
The ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network is regarded as effective for a multimedia telecommunication environment that enables high-speed and broad band communication. This paper reports on the system architecture and desig n concept of the FETEX-150 ESP (Enhanced Switching Platform) which has been designed as an ATM switch in a public broadband network. To track the late st ATM standards and trends, a simple, scalable, and open architecture was set forth for the FETEX-150 ESP design target at the beginning of the syste m design. This paper also describes the method for traffic management to su pport various traffic classes. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re served.
