Talk:Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The basic argument for this technique is that it provides a guaranteed QoS for a service since resources are physically allocated to the channel and traffic from other channels will have no impact on this channel.

In TDM the channel is divided up into sub-channels. Are the bold channels above sub-channels or the primary DTM channel?

There is only one level of channels in DTM. However there are discussions about introducing a mapping of DTM channels inside a DTM channel ("DTM-in-DTM"). This would have several interesting applications, such as providing VPN like DTM tunnels, off-loading intermediate nodes from signalling etc.

[edit] B-ISDN reborn

I've been through all this before, and I don't hold out any great hopes for it outside of closed systems; it's swimming against the tide that has already washed away ATM.

As far as I can tell, this is effectively an implementation of CBR "jumbo phone calls" in the spirit of B-ISDN, with 64 bits per timeslot instead of 8, and is effectively an admission of defeat with regard to ATM. (Mind you, it's more likely to be possible to implement correctly.)

Questions:

• What's the call setup protocol?
• What's the call routing protocol?
• What do the call setup and routing protocols run over (for example, are there dedicated signalling timeslots on each path, as in the PDH?)
• I wonder how long this will take to be deployed encapsulated as DTMoIP?
