Title
Protocols for loosely synchronous networks
Abstract
This paper overviews a novel transfer mode for B-ISDN: Loosely-synchronous Transfer Mode (LTM). LTM operates by signaling periphery nodes when destinations become available. No frame structure is imposed by LTM, thus avoiding adaptation layers. Additionally, LTM can deliver a spectrum of guaranteed quality of services. New Synchronous Protocol Stacks (SPSs) build on LTM by synchronizing their activities to LTM signals. Such signals can be de- livered directly to applications that may synchronize its operations to transmissions, thus minimizing buffering due to synchronization mismatches. SPSs can use current transport pro- tocols unchanged and, potentially, enhance them with the real-time capabilities made possible through LTM.
