Abstract

A protocol control system architecture that provides excellent processing performance for data communications and utilizes a high speed network such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is discussed. The system consists of multiple protocol controllers (PCs) connected in parallel and employs the distributed multilink method, in which the multilink procedure is distributed to each PC. The method features a distributed algorithm for transmission allocation at the transmitting side and a resequence algorithm at the receiving side. Characteristics of the method are analyzed and the system performance is evaluated. The system can provide a 90-fold performance improvement over a single PC
