Abstract

Switched Virtual Circuits (SVC) have been a known functionality of ATM networks for years. The connection oriented and low latency nature of ATM makes it natural for handling streaming protocols such as video and multimedia. One of the advantages of SVC implementation is to provide bandwidth on demand, and reduce network complexity and costs. This paper explores the implementation of Video broadcasting services using SVC over ATM networks. A Network design based on performance tests has been proposed and Service Level Agreement is recommended.
