Abstract
Abstract AN ATM communication system having both dynamic bandwidth allocation capability comprising storage mechanism for DBA traffic, the storage mechanism further including dedicated storage mechanism for ABR traffic. The system being such that ABR bandwidth requests are allocated after all other DBA bandwidth allocations have been satisfied. A device for interrupting an ABR transmission, before a bandwidth allocation within which the said ABR transmission is included has been fully used, for the transmission of other higher priority DBA traffic is provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An ATM communication system comprising: a first storage means for storing DBA traffic requests at an input statistical multiplexing unit; a second storage means for storing ABR traffic requests at the input statistical multiplexing unit; an input resource allocation means associated with the input statistical multiplexing unit for allocating ABR bandwidth requests after all DBA bandwidth allocations have been satisfied, said input resource allocation means including interrupt means for interrupting an ABR traffic transmission to permit DBA traffic transmission having a higher priority; and further comprising a plurality of input statistical multiplexing units: a plurality of output statistical multiplexing units; an ATM switch connecting the input statistical multiplexing units and the output statistical multiplexing units, each input statistical multiplexing unit having a plurality of memories at least one memory for each corresponding output statistical multiplexing unit and wherein each of the plurality of memories is operatively associated with a server which is controlled by the resource allocation means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
An ATM communication system comprising: a first storage means for storing DBA traffic requests at an input statistical multiplexing unit; a second storage means for storing ABR traffic requests at the input statistical multiplexing unit; an input resource allocation means associated with the input statistical multiplexing unit for allocating ABR bandwidth requests after all DBA bandwidth allocations have been satisfied, said input resource allocation means including interrupt means for interrupting an ABR traffic transmission to permit DBA traffic transmission having a higher priority; and further comprising a plurality of input statistical multiplexing units: a plurality of output statistical multiplexing units; an ATM switch connecting the input statistical multiplexing units and the output statistical multiplexing units, each input statistical multiplexing unit having a plurality of memories at least one memory for each corresponding output statistical multiplexing unit and wherein each of the plurality of memories is operatively associated with a server which is controlled by the resource allocation means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The ATM communication system of claim 1, wherein the resource allocation means is further comprised of a RAM table for storing data related to a bandwidth allocated to ABR traffic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
The ATM communication system of claim 2, wherein each of the output statistical multiplexing units has an output side resource allocation means which is comprised of an ABR request memory for storing ABR bandwidth requests, said output side resource allocation means arranged to provide acknowledgement signals to the input resource allocation means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The ATM communication system of claim 3, wherein the acknowledgement signals indicate when an ABR bandwidth is available.
