Abstract :
The ATX (asynchronous transmission and exchange) network utilizing current narrowband digital leased lines (up to 6 Mb/s) is proposed. Architecture enhancements in the proposed ATX system are considered. The use of ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) technology in the ATX is evaluated for the following applications: economical and small-size ATM switch architecture suitable for the narrowband environment, traffic control to achieve high efficiency in line utilization in cases where the number of statistically multiplexed channels is relatively small, and adaptation to accommodate existing conventional PBXs and terminals without change. Results of evaluations are reported
