ATM ATM in the Internet The Internet is creeping to a halt as experts search for a way to deliver even more complex technology. IP switching over ATM is made to order. By Bob Sullebarger, Core Switching Systems Division, Ascend Communications The Internet's unprecedented popularity is causing substantial congestion. The problem begins in the public switched telephone network-where call-duration for data is 10 times that of voice traffic-and extends through the WAN backbone, where routers are crashing with increasing frequency. The only long-term solution is a more streamlined infrastructure that adds capacity based on more throughput from switching, and not merely on more nodes that route. With a new user every 30 seconds and multimedia applications on the way, the Internet is in desperate need of an enduring, scalable foundation. The unpalatable alternative would be to limit the Internet's size and application potential to roughly what it is today. There really is no other viable option: the Internet needs switching, and ATM is made to order. nelsonpub.com
