When a connection needs to be established between two hosts
before transferring data, ATM Forum has recommended the UNI
signaling for used tosupport such connectivity. In this thesis,
we have developed the related signaling protocol in our
prototyped ATM adapter card. We first review the signaling
protocol and the associated FSM. We examine the existing
softwareimplementation from the Internet. To quickly support the
SVC function, weconsider MS-DOS platform for our implementation.
To implement the signaling function, we follow a top-down
designmethodology, that is, we first derive a software
architecture based on thesignaling specification. Following the
proposed software architecture, we definethe interfaces among
the software modules and functions. These modules and functions
are then implemented and integrated. To verify the correctness,
we conduct some tests bvy connecting two PC hosts without the
ATM switch. Thesemodules will be used as a basis for
application, such as IP over ATM and LANE.we will also extend
the above implementation in the window environment.
