Implementing ATM Rate-Based Flow Control Algorithms Using an Embeddded Microprocessor

This presentation discusses some of the current challenges of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and how an embedded microprocessor can be used to address these challenges. Also discussed are the ATM functions most suitable for an embedded microprocessor and provide a detailed analysis of one of the latest topics in ATM, rate-based flow control. The ATM system designer faces many challenges in designing an ATM network interface card. The number of virtual circuits to support and which ATM chip sets to use are just two of the technical issues. These two issues must be weighed against cost and time to market. To compound the problem, many of the standards are still being refined.
