Abstract :
High-speed network services will be phased into our daily life gradually in the coming years. With fiber optic data rates over gigabits per second to a persons home, the distinction among the LANs, MANs and WANs will eventually disappear. The reason is not because of a particular protocol but rather the ultrahigh raw speed provided by the fiber technologies. This paper will address the design of frame relay and ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) and will suggest enhancements to make the ATM protocol suitable for all digital communications
