  3. Outline • Need for Broadband ISDN • B-ISDN applications • B-ISDN solution • B-ISDN layers • Physical layer • B-ISDN/ ATM Standards Bodies

  4. What is Broadband-ISDN? • A Full Services Network (FSN) • Multiple services / one network • Integrates video, voice, data • Telco term more than Private network term

  5. Need for B-ISDN • Limitations of N-ISDN • Statistical multiplexing • Scalable bandwidth • New applications • Video Applications • LAN-LAN connectivity networks • Quality of service

  6. Quality of service • Different requirements for data, voice and video • Voice and video • low delay and delay variation • tolerant of loss • Data • tolerant of delay and delay variation • intolerant of loss

  7. Scalable bandwidth • New applications bursty • Need bandwidth available on demand • Very fine units of bandwidth

  8. Statistical multiplexing • Based on the Central Limit Theorem • Multiplex n independent and identically distributed random time varying signals • Mean of aggregate increases proportionally to n • Standard deviation of aggregate increases proportionally to sqrt(n) • variation of aggregate signal decreases proportionally as n increases

  9. B-ISDN Driver Technologies • Optic Fibre (Photonics) • High performance PCs • Digital Signal Processing Chips • Sophisticated software

  10. B-ISDN Services • Distributive • Broadcast • Multicast • Interactive • Messaging • Conversational • Retrieval

  11. Examples of Distributive Services • Broadcast • Broadcast Television • Multicast • Near video-on-demand

  12. Examples of Interactive Services • Messaging • video mail • Retrieval • video-on-demand • Conversational • video-conferencing

  13. BISDN Design Decisions • Cell Switching • No feedback control • later changed • Sophisticated Quality of Service guarantees

  14. Cell Switching • Connection oriented packet switching • Small uniform size packets • 48 byte payload, 5 byte header • compromise between 64 and 32 bytes • Advantage of cells • simple switch architectures • scalable bandwidth

  15. Connection Oriented • Connection established end to end before transmission of data • ‘Virtual Circuit’ and Virtual Circuit Indicator • Lower delays during transmission • Connections can be blocked • Control over quality of service

  16. Packet Switching • Information segmented for transmission and reassembled at destination • Information in packets • Each packet has a tag indicating destination • Packets from multiple calls statistically multiplexed • Can be delays caused by switch buffering

  17. Asynchronous Transfer Mode • Fast packet switching technology • Cell relay • Small, fixed size packets (cells) • Segmentation and Reassembly • Connection Oriented • Virtual Circuit Indicator • Application Adaptation Layer protocols

  18. No feedback control • Bandwidth time product • large number of bits in transit • Congestion events transient • Feedback control useless

  19. Quality of Service • Defined in terms of • Cell loss rate • Delay • Delay variation • Need to know • Bit rates • Burstiness • QoS used in connection admission control

  20. ATM’s Mixed Success • Quality of service a great success • Statistical multiplexing less successful • Data sources are not identically, independently distributed • Video has a periodic, rather than a random time varying nature • Data packets over cells easily causes congestion collapse • single cell loss causes whole packet to be discarded • Feedback control introduced in ABR

  21. ATM Networks • ATM Switches • ATM to the desktop • Physical media

  22. Broadband ISDN Protocol Reference Model • Higher Layers • ATM Adaptation Layer • ATM Layer • Physical Layer

  23. Higher Layers • Application layer • Examples • Packets for IP network • Frames for HDLC network • Voice stream for telephony • MPEG transport stream for video

  24. ATM Adaptation Layer • Maps higher layer to ATM cells • AAL for different applications • Segments and reassembles cells for ATM • Much more next lecture

  25. ATM Layer • Cell relay switching technology • 53 Octets (bytes) cells • 5 byte header • 48 byte payload • Much more in later lectures

  26. Physical Layer • ATM Transmission Media • Originally only 2 - 155 and 622 Mbps • analogous to Basic and Primary Rate Interface • New sublayers at different transmission rates

  27. Transmission Rates • Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) • SynchronousOptical NETwork (SONET) • Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) • ATM to the desktop

  28. PDH • E1 - 2 Mbps • E2 - 8 Mbps • E3 - 34 Mbps • E4 - 140 Mbps

  29. Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) • STS-3 (OC-3) - 155 Mbps • STS-12 (OC-12) 622 Mbps • STS-48 (OC-48) 2.4 Gbit/s

  30. Synchronous Digital Hierarchy • STM-1 155 Mbps • STM-4 622 Mbps • STM-16 2.4 Gbit/s

  31. Desktop ATM • TAXI - 100 Mbps • FDDI based. Superseded • OC3 - 155 Mbps • Multimode fibre connection • STS-3 over UTP Category 5 - 155 Mbps • UTP Category 5 • 25 Mbps UTP • Based on Token Ring interface

  32. B-ISDN Standards Bodies • ITU - International Telecommunications Union • ATM Forum • IETF - Internet Engineering Taskforce

  33. ITU Groups • SG9 - Television and sound transmission • SG11 - signalling and switching • SG13 - general network aspects • SG15 - transmission systems and equipment

  34. ITU Recommendations • I.413 B-ISDN User Network Interface • I.432 B-ISDN UNI Physical Layers • I.361 B-ISDN ATM Layer Specification • I.363 B-ISDN ATM AAL Specification • I.371 Traffic and Congestion Control in B-ISDN

  35. ATM Forum Specifications • LAN Emulation (LANE) • Traffic management v4.0 • Private Network to Network Interface (PNNI) v.1 • Physical Layers • User to Network Interface (UNI) v 3.1 • UNI Signalling v 4.0 • Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA)

  36. IETF RFCs • RFC1483 “Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5” • RFC1577 “Classical IP and ARP over ATM”

  37. Summary • Need for Broadband ISDN • B-ISDN applications • B-ISDN solution • B-ISDN layers • Physical layer • B-ISDN/ ATM Standards Bodies

  38. Reading for next week • Stallings Chapter 15 “ATM Protocols”

  39. Review Questions • Why is connection admission control in B-ISDN more difficult than in N-ISDN? • Is ATM a layer 2 (data link) or layer 3 (network) protocol? • Why not overcome the time propagation delay problem by installing switches with large buffers? • Suppose we have a video sequence whose mean bandwidth is 1 Mbps and standard deviation is 0.5 Mbps. Assuming independence between the streams, what will be the mean and standard deviation of an aggregate stream consisting of 10 such sequences? 100? 1000?
