Introducing ATM

Networking

As a technology, ATM represents a sharp departure from LAN

alternatives such as traditional Ethernets that typically rely on

shared transmission media. That is, with Ethernet, several nodes

often contend for the right to transmit over shared cable segments

that support only one transmission at a time. When a node

successfully captures the media, it transmits its message at the

maximum allowed speed, completely consuming the media.

However, even in the best of circumstances, it is not unusual for two

or more nodes to begin transmitting at the same time and interfere

with each others transmission. Ethernet’s design anticipates and

compensates for unpredictable transmission collisions that occur.

How ATM Works

In contrast to other methods, ATM isolates network nodes by forcing

them to attach to ATM switches using dedicated connections. ATM

switches then interconnect and cooperate with each other to form a

network and provide communication connections. While an ATM

node has full use of its switch attachment link, nodes share the

capacity of the links connecting the switches. Unlike Ethernet

networks, this sharing is largely invisible to the nodes. Because of

this and other considerations, ATM provides numerous advantages

and capabilities that are difficult or impossible to obtain with legacy

LAN approaches. Perhaps the most important ATM benefits are its

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide

native wide area connectivity, scaleable bandwidth, and bandwidth

guarantees.

Figure 2-1. ATM Networking

Wide Area Connectivity

International telephone companies have standardized ATM to

support their domestic telephone voice traffic. As nations deploy

their individual ATM networks, ATM’s standard definition makes it

easy to interconnect these various ATM networks into a cooperative

integrated global network.

Introducing ATM Networking

Scaleable bandwidth

ATM defines how ATM end-stations, such as your PC or

workstation, connect to ATM switches and how ATM switches

interconnect with each other. Because these various connections

consist of dedicated links, their construction (metal wire or fiber

optic) and the transmission speed they support may vary from link

to link. When connections require higher speed, it is usually easy to

upgrade the connection without disrupting other network nodes

and switches, upgrading transmission bandwidth only where

necessary.

Bandwidth guarantees

Whenever one ATM node communicates with another, it uses a

virtual connection that disguises the fact that connections actually

traverse shared media. In this way, ATM networks make it appear

that connections are dedicated. Only if the necessary bandwidth is

available along the entire route does the connection setup complete

successfully. ATM’s guaranteed bandwidth allows connections to

transport audio, video, and image data that is sensitive to time

delays that occur when bandwidth is unpredictable as it is with

Ethernet.

To further improve transmission predictability, ATM networks

transmit small, 53 byte messages, called cells. A cell contains 48 data

bytes and a five-byte header. Since ATM transmission media only

transport only one cell at a time, the small message size allows

switches and nodes to transmit high priority cells with minimum

delay. If switches are transmitting lower priority cells when a high

priority cell arrives, higher priority cell transmission quickly

commences when the lower priority transmission completes.

Node Identification

ATM end stations (nodes such as workstations) each have a unique

connection to any ATM switch to which they connect. The

connection point at the switch is called a switch port and the switch

is a local switch for the node. ATM nodes each have a globally-unique

network address. There are various address schemes but, in most

cases, nodes receive their assigned network address from the switch.

2-3

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide

To communicate with another node, an initiating node must initiate

a signaling request to the signaling Virtual Channel Connection (VCC)

residing within the local switch.

Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs)

Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) are either constructed manually

or constructed by both nodes and all intervening switches.

Manually constructed connections are called Permanent Virtual

Circuits (PVCs) and must be manually deconstructed. With Switched

Virtual Connections (SVCs), one node initiates the VCC setup process

which proceeds switch-by-switch until the desired node is reached.

ATM networks that provide SVCs are considered signaling

environments. Finally VCCs can be point-to-point, allowing one

transmitter and receiver for any cell, or multicast VCCs that allow

one node to transmit a cell that many nodes receive.

An initiating node sends a connection setup request to its switch via

a special signaling VCC. The signaling VCC is an example of a

control VCC - a VCC that remains constantly active. The switch then

cooperates with other nodes to construct a virtual connection that

provides the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS). Link by link, the

procedure reserves the bandwidth required by the connection. If the

connection setup is successful, the nodes communicate using the

VCC which is represented by a Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) and a

Virtual Path Identifier (VPI). Together, the VCI and VPI identify the

VCC for its duration, and communicating nodes reference the VPI/

VCI pair within each transmitted cell, permitting subsequent cell

switching activity. When the communication process is complete,

one of the communicating nodes initiates the SVC tear-down.

ATM SONET/SDH Support

SONET is an acronym for Synchronous Optical Network - the

contemporary technology many North American telephone

companies use to bundle and transport domestic voice data within

Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) data frames SDH is an acronym

for Synchronous Digital Hierarchy - the contemporary technology

many European telephone companies use to bundle and transport

domestic voice data Synchronous Transport Module (STM) data

frames. Through international standardization efforts, SONET and

SDH are essentially identical except that the smallest STM frame

(STM-1) is three times larger than the smallest STS frame (STS-1).

Introducing ATM Networking

ATM uses SONET and SHD technology to reduce costs while

achieving high transmission rates. Essentially, ATM combines

multiple STS-1 frames into STS superframes (STS-Nc, where N

stands for some integer value) and likewise for STM-1 frames.

Transmitting 8,000 single STS-1 frames at telephone company in a

second, referred to as STS-1 transmission, produces a 51.84 Mbit/ sec

transmission rate.

An STS-3C transmission transmits 8,000 STS-3c superframes in a

second, each composed of three concatenated (combined) STS-1

frames. This produces a 155.52 Mbit/ sec transmission rate which is

conventionally rounded to 155 Mbits/ sec. The STS-3c transmission

rate is identical to the STM-1 transmission rate. ATM supports, or

will eventually support the following:

■ STS-1:

51.84 Mbits/ sec

155.52 Mbits/ sec

622.08 Mbits/ sec

1244.16 Mbits/ sec

2488.32 Mbits/ sec

■ STS-3c:

■ STS-12c:

■ STS-24c:

■ STS-48c:

■ STS-192c: 9953.28 Mbits/ sec

Adaptec ATM products currently support the STS-3C/ STM-1

transmission rate of 155.51 Mbits/ sec.

25.6 Mbit/sec ATM

ATM also supports 25.6 Mbit transmission speeds. Adaptec

products providing this transmission speed attach to switches which

can subsequently transport the data at any ATM transmission speed

necessary to reach another switch or node.

Classical TCP/IP

A data communication protocol is a set of conventions that

communicating entities observe to achieve unambiguous data

exchange and the TCP/ IP suite of protocols is the most commonly

used data communication protocol suite. TCP/ IP has prevailed

because it is an extensible, effective data communication protocol

suite designed from the ground up to integrate disparate networks

with heterogeneous computers. Because of its interconnectivity

origins, TCP/ IP is essential to the Internet, which itself consists of

Classical IP Operational Summary

Within workstations, a TCP/ IP communication protocol stack

receives application data streams and fragments the flows into

datagrams. These datagrams can be up to 64 Kbytes long, though

they are usually much smaller to accommodate physical media

constraints. Within the stack, IP components prepend datagram

headers and deliver the datagram to MAC components, such as

Ethernet components, for transmission. Intermediate routers route

the IP datagrams to destinations, further fragmenting the datagrams

into smaller datagrams if necessary. When datagrams arrive,

perhaps out of order, receiving host IP components reassemble the

datagrams and corresponding TCP components reconstruct the

original data stream before delivering the data to an application. IP

provides a connectionless, datagram transmission and routing

conduit while TCP superimposes necessary guaranteed data

delivery considerations between applications using mechanisms

such as exponential back off and slow start up transmission rate

flow controls as well as message receipt acknowledgments.

Within popular implementations, IP receives and delivers data from

and to two widely available higher level layers, TCP and UDP. UDP

2-6

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Introducing ATM Networking

stands for User Datagram Protocol. Both TCP and UDP have

associated processes and applications that produce the messages

and streams TCP and UDP receive and deliver. While TCP provides

a reliable data transport mechanism to host applications including

checksums, UDP provides applications-specific IP addresses but

only provides its applications access only to IP’s connectionless,

unreliable delivery.

Classical IP over ATM

Within contemporary networks, host IP software and IP routers get

datagrams from network sources to network destinations. Within an

ATM network, the ATM adaptation layer intercepts and converts IP

datagrams to and from cells. This spans the message transmission

differences inherent within each communication design. However,

it does not address the behavorial differences between components

above this layer. For instance, unlike ATM, the legacy delivery

process does not itself guarantee reliable, in-order delivery.

Because TCP/ IP applications were designed in LAN environments

that naturally provided broadcast services that are unavailable with

native ATM, other differences also require consideration before ATM

can seamlessly transport IP datagrams. These mechanisms resolve

IP addresses to ATM network addresses and provide TCP/ IP’s

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) support. Many of these

considerations are resolved in the Internet Engineering Task Force

(IETF) Request For Comment 1577 (RFC 1577). This document

provides protocols, collectively referred to as Classical IP over ATM,

that introduce the concept of a Logical IP Subnet (LIS) - a group of

ATM nodes, LIS clients, that belong to the same IP subnet.

Within each LIS, a single ATM ARP (ATMARP) resolves ATM

addresses for the LIS clients. As nodes become operational, they

contact their ATMARP server and provide ATM and IP address

information to the ATMARP server. The server maintains a table

containing this information and references it whenever a LIS client

requests IP ARP address resolution. When a LIS client obtains the

ATM address of another client, it can establish direct communication

with the other LIS client using a conventional ATM connection. To

ensure table accuracy and station mobility, the ATMARP server

periodically discards old entries.

LAN Emulation

Clearly, ATM’s connection-oriented approach for communication is

distinctly different from the broadcast-oriented approach traditional

LANs use. ATM LAN Emulation, an industry-standard facility all

Adaptec ATM adapters support, provides necessary mechanisms to

address this requirement.

LAN emulation allows ATM networks to provide all services

available within legacy LAN environments. With LAN emulation,

ATM networks use their facilities to mimic communication

establishment procedures occurring within broadcast-oriented

legacy LANs. Once communication is established, ATM uses

normal ATM connections to exchange messages, usually many times

faster than with legacy LANs. Emulated LANs may consist entirely

of ATM end stations, include transparent bridges that connect exiting

LANs to ATM networks, or both.

ATM LAN Emulation facilities consist of

■ LAN Emulation Clients (LECs)

■ LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)

■ LAN Emulation Server (LES)

■ Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS)

The following sections describe these components.

LAN Emulation Clients (LECs)

A LEC is an internal control VCC within end stations. LECs

communicate with other LAN emulation components and LECs to

establish and provide LAN Emulation services. A LEC wholly

comprises the interface between legacy applications and ATM

networks. Therefore it must support various interfaces such as

NDIS and ODI.

When communicating with another LEC, Data Direct VCCs transport

the data. For outbound data frames, LECs convert the LAN MAC

addresses that legacy LAN applications use into ATM network

addresses and pass the typically large application data frames to the

correct ATM layer (AAL5) for conversion into cells for transmission.

For inbound cells, LECs reverse the process.

2-8

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Introducing ATM Networking

LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)

A LECS usually resides within an ATM switch. When queried by a

LEC over a Control Direct VCC, a LECS indicates what LAN(s) a LEC

can participate in based on input from a network administrator.

LECs use the LECS to obtain the network address of the LES. A

temporary VCC, that transports this information, is the Configuration

Direct VCC.

LAN Emulation Server (LES)

The LES maintains a table of all ATM nodes participating within a

LAN and can return appropriate values to querying nodes. The LES

usually resides within a node’s local switch and helps determine

node addresses.

To determine appropriate ATM addresses, a LEC maintains a table

of recently determined conversion values. When a value is not

within the table, a LEC contacts the LES using the LAN Emulation

Address Resolution Protocol (LEARP).

If a target node is an ATM end-station, the LES returns its address

and the process is complete. Otherwise the node is connected to a

legacy LAN which attaches to the ATM network using a transparent

bridge. If the LES does not have the appropriate MAC conversion

information to resolve addresses, the LES transmits associated

LEARP messages to the LES in any known transparent bridge using

Control Distribute VCCs. If a transparent bridge LEC recognizes the

specified MAC address, it provides the address to the original

requesting LEC and provides necessary message-passing facilities.

Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS)

Occasionally, applications send LECs messages intended to be

broadcast to all LAN members. In this instance, the LEC passes the

message to the BUS using a multicast VCC. The BUS then transmits

the message to each participating LAN node using a multicast using

ATM multicast facilities. Receiving LECs filter these messages using

the node address and pass surviving messages to intended

recipients.

Determining the CIP ARP Server Address

Note: Commands such as aatmcnfg should be entered from

the MS-DOS command prompt, which you can access by

selecting the MS-DOS Command Prompt icon in Program

Manager ’s Main group window.

To obtain the 20-byte, ATM ARP server address

Note: The ATM driver should be started and registered to

the switch.

On the ARP server, enter the following command from the

directory (\etc\opt\adptaatm\bin) where the ATM CIP software

was installed:

aatmcnfg -p

The ATM address for the ARP server appears, for example,

39.11.22.11.22.11.22.00.00.11.22.11.22.00.00.d1.00.04.45.00

Write this address down. Then replace the 20th byte (the final

byte, which is 00) with 03. Use this altered address as the ATM

ARP server address when you install the CIP client software

on all client workstations in the LIS.

The ATM ARP server address consists of the following:

■ The first 13 bytes are from the ATM switch. (Refer to the

switch documentation.)

■ The next 6 bytes are the MAC address (ESI address) of the

adapter installed in the ATM ARP server.

The MAC address also appears when you use the

aatmcnfg -p command.

■ The 20th byte (the ATM ARP selector) must be different than

the CIP client selector and the ATM selector. Adaptec ATM

drivers use the following default selectors:

– ARP selector (aarp.sys): 03

– CIP client selector (acip): 02

– ATM selector (aatm): 00

specifications.

Features

ANA-5910/5930/5940 Hardware

The ANA-5910/ 5930/ 5940 adapter is an ATM network interface

card (NIC) designed to be easily installed in the PCI slots. The

adapter is specifically designed to enhance your computer ’s

performance by providing easy access to ATM networks. The

adapter models use the following cables and connectors:

The adapter delivers high performance in terms of low latency, high

throughput, and fast response time. The adapter supports

simultaneous inbound and outbound transfers at their maximum

line speed of either 25 Mbits/ sec for the ANA-5910 or 155 Mbits/ sec

for the ANA-5930/ 5940.

One of the adapter ’s most important functions is to perform the

segmentation and reassembly of data for communication with the

ATM network. The adapter segments outgoing PDUs into ATM cells

and transmits them to an ATM switch for forwarding to their

destination. The adapter uses AAL 5 protocol to map PDUs into the

information field of the ATM cell. The adapter also reassembles

incoming cells into a larger frame and uses a buffer management

scheme for the efficient transfer of PDUs between the adapter and

the host computer.

At the physical layer, the ANA-5930/ 5940 supports the SONET/

SDH and STS-3c/ STM-1 155-Mbit/ sec physical transport standards.

The ANA-5910 conforms to the ATM Forum’s 25.6-Mbit/ sec

standard transmission method.

Product Features and Specifications

ANA-5910/5930/5940 Software

The adapter is shipped with the following software:

■ An ATM driver (atmo.sys) provides driver layer access to

higher layer ATM drivers and resides in the host computer

where the adapter is installed. This driver allows Classical IP

operation over ATM using RFC 1577.

■ An ATM Address Resolution Protocol (ATMARP) server

driver (aarp.sys) allows Classical IP management and creation

of SVCs from an ATMARP server. This driver software is an

additional package; only one is needed per logical IP subnet

(LIS).

■ Command-line utilities allow driver configuration at the

MS-DOS command line.

■ A command-line diagnostic utility (aatmdiag.exe) allows

testing of the adapter and the ATM connection.

■ A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent

interfaces with networking management software such as HP

OpenView or SunNet Manager. The SNMP agent files include

aatmsnmpd.dll, ilmi.snm.mib, and ilmi.hpov.mib.

Diagnostics

The hardware diagnostic utility aatmdiag.exe is a command-line

interface that can be used to validate that the adapter is functioning

properly. Only three commands are needed to completely test the

adapter. These are the selftest, extended SAR memory tests, and the

external ATM tests (using an external loopback cable).

B-11

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide

Note: The selftest and SAR memory tests check most of the

functionality on the adapter. To test all functions on the

adapter, use a loopback cable and run the external ATM test.

To verify that the adapter is functioning properly, do the following:

Make sure you have installed the adapter and the drivers. See

Chapter 3, Installing the Adapter.

Select the MS-DOS Command Prompt icon in the Main

program group.

Change to the directory where ATM software is installed. The

default is \etc\opt\adptaatm\bin.

Stop all the drivers that are running. See Database File

Parameters on page B -14.

Start the diagnostic utility by entering the following command:

aatmdiag

For help, enter aatmdiag -h from the MS-DOS command prompt,

or type help when you are in the diagnostic command utility (at

the ADM:0> prompt).

When using the loop mode of testing, type loop. At the

LoopMode> prompt, enter the desired test. At the next

LoopMode> prompt, enter the next desired test. When you

have finished, enter end. If you wish to display the

intermediate pass results of your tests, be sure to enter

log_level 1 before you enter loop mode. For example

ADM:0> log_level 1

ADM:0> loop

LoopMode> selftest

LoopMode> sar_mem_e

SNMP Agent

This is for network managers and system administrators who will

use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage their

ATM networks. The ATM Management Information Base (MIB) was

created from the ATM Forum UNI 3.1 ILMI MIB specifications. It

does not support RFC 1695. The ILMI MIB uses the ASN.1 format

which allows you to compile ATM driver modules into your

required network management station.

If you are using HP OpenView or SunNet Manager to manage your

network, install the MIBs on the computer that will operate as the

management station for the ATM network, see HP Op e n V i ew or IBM

N e t V i ew 6000 and SunN e t M anager on page B -17. Once this station is

set up, other Windows NT computers communicate with it through

the Windows NT SNMP Service.

This Windows SNMP Service must be configured on each Windows

NT computer in the ATM network; see Windows NT documentation

for setting up Windows NT SNMP Service. If you have SNMP

Service set up before you install ATM drivers, the SNMP agent is

configured during ATM driver installation. If you set up SNMP

Service after installing ATM drivers, reconfigure the computer by

following these steps:

Select the Control Panel icon in the Main program group.

Select the Network icon.

Select the Adaptec ATM Adapter under Installed Adapter

Cards. Then select Configure.

HP OpenView or IBM NetView 6000

To compile the MIB for use in HP OpenView or IBM NetView 6000

Network Management, follow these instructions (Adaptec has

confirmed that HP OpenView 3.31 and IBM NetView 6000 running

on SunOS 4.1.3 operates with our ATM drivers):

From the Control pull-down menu, select SNMP Manager.

Select Management Database.

Select ilmi.hpov.mib in the \etc\opt\adptaatm\bin directory (or

the directory where your ATM software is installed).

B-16

Windows NT Specific Error Messages and Diagnostics

Select Add.

The ILMI MIB is now compiled. For further instructions on using

HP OpenView to monitor network traffic, see the HP OpenView

documentation.

SunNet Manager

To compile and load the MIB into SunNet Manager 2.2.2 or later,

follow these instructions. For instructions for other versions, see the

documentation that came with SunNet Manager.

Copy the file ilmi.snm.mib from the \etc\opt\adptaatm\bin

directory (or the directory where your ATM software is

installed) into your SunNet Manager agents directory. This

may require copying this file to a different computer or

workstation.

Change to the directory agents in your SunNet Manager

software directory.

Use the utility mib2schema to generate the schema and oid files

for the MIB:

# mib2schema ilmi.snm.mib

# build-oid

Enter SunNet Manager to see if the MIB was compiled and

loaded.

and on to the respective node.

ATM switches are currently

designed with one of two

hardware standards: the ATM
