Summary:
An optimum design scheme for logical network topologies on a Flexible Multi-QoS Logical ATM Network, named Full-Net, is proposed. Full-Net offers high-quality Virtual-Path (VP) networks and controls end-to-end QoS only at the VP-network's access points. To develop the optimum network topology for multimedia traffic in a single ATM network, a logically con figured Virtual Channel Handler (VCH) interconnection network is associated with each QoS class. Many logical networks can be mapped at the same time on the same network, because mapping is independent of the network's physical implementation. To achieve an optimum design scheme for logical networks, the number of disjoint routes is introduced as the parameter used to optimize logical network topology. The number of disjoint routes is chosen so as to maximize total network efficiency. The optimum number of disjoint routes depends on the required QoS, VC-traffic characteristics, and traffic demand. By choosing the relevant cost characteristics, the network operator can easily maximize network efficiency and provide customers with the QoS they request at minimum cost. The proposed optimum multi-QoS network design scheme on a Full-Net architecture is an efficient solution to implementing multi-QoS control in an ATM network.
