New addressing scheme for ring type topology ATM-LAN

This paper describes a new addressing scheme on the shared medium ring topology. First of all the necessity of the new addressing scheme is described and then the requirement for the ring type ATM-LAN addressing is described. At last we will suggest a new addressing scheme for solving some problems in the existing addressing scheme and for improving usage of the network capacity. The new addressing scheme deletes connectionless cells as well as connection oriented cells at the destination node for the spatial reuse. Also proposed scheme is studied when network is interconnected to existing LANs and B-ISDN through IWU (Interworking Unit). The new addressing scheme is very useful for accommodating multicast and broadcast application in the various on-coming B-ISDN services.<
