| Abstract | An overview of the various introduction scenarios proposed for integrating ATM into the existing telecommunications networks is given. The difficulties in introduction of A TM in existing networks, and advantages and disadvantages of each strategy are presented. Island approach is suitable for private networks, while the overlay approach, which covers more geographical area, is suitable for public networks. The effects of delay and distance in different STM-ATM environment on PCM voice has been done. It is seen that careful planning is required when an ATM network is introduced in existing networks to limit the end-to-end delay to CCITT Recommendation G.164 of 25 ms. ATM increases the delay and shortens the transmission distance that can be used without echo cancelers. Some of the issues when considering the introduction of ATM in existing networks are analyzed. Some of the major criteria that should be considered for selecting an introduction scenario has been presented. The cost and revenue for a hypothetical metropolitan ATM network are calculated. Sensitivity analysis on variation of traffic and charge rate have been done. It is seen that video is a major contributor to the revenue of the network operator. A balance is needed between the video charge rate and bandwidth. Another important factor is the data traffic. the increase of residential data traffic can have significant influence on the cost of the network. |
