This paper presents the architecture and performance studies of demonstrations of broadband network interconnection using ATM over satellite developed in the RACE II CATALYST project. The purpose of the project was to develop an ATM satellite link for future B-ISDN services, particularly for the interconnections of ATM testbeds which are in the form of broadband islands. By interconnecting these broadband islands, the initial ATM-based B-ISDN can be introduced, thus getting the integrated broadband communication started. The CATALYST project has developed the satellite ATM demonstrator to be able to interconnect newly developed ATM testbeds as well as the existing networks such as DQDB, FDDI and Ethernet. Experiments demonstrated the capability of the satellite ATM connections to support data, voice, video and multimedia applications. These experiments provided a real system demonstration of ATM over satellite. In the light of the experiment, this paper studies the relevant issues and the impact of ATM over satellite on the applications and the protocols. Furthermore, techniques to improve the performance of the system, such as congestion control and dynamic bandwidth allocation, are explained and information on progress is provided. |
