The situation of telecommunications is now rapidly evolving towards a state characterized by the presence of a multitude of services integrated in a single network structure. In order to ease the integration process, it is important to provide an unambiguous description of the organization of network functionalities and of the relationships existing among them. Since it is not possible to completely foresee the situation of services in the future, the description should be modular, so that the task of adding new services to an already existing environment is simplified.This paper reports a model of an integrated network based on ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). The concept of modularity is strongly emphasized by the use of the ''stratum'' modelling tool, by which the description of overlaid network functionalities, according to the OSI principle of layered services, is possible. The stratum concept has been defined in order to incorporate the ISDN principle of separating different functions on different protocol stacks (planes) and to put more emphasis on the idea of stratum recursive derivation. Examples of application of the model are given, depicting the provision of data and voice/video services in an ATM-based environment. |
