(Satrya) Asynchronous Transfer Mode

ATM is a technology that provides a common format for high-speed data and voice calls. It allows networks to integrate voice, video, and data across both local and wide area networks. ATM provides switching and traffic control to efficiently route variable data flows. While ATM offers benefits like speed and flexibility for applications, there are obstacles holding users back such as immature software, standards and prices being too high.

ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE (ATM)

The hottest topic in the IT industry is Asynchronous Transfer Mode


(ATM) which is the first technology to provide a common format for high-speed
data as well as for the typical voice phone call. In addition, the format it uses,
the cell, is equally at home in any network: public or private, the Local Area
Network (LAN) or the Wide Area Network (WAN). ATM provides a means
for integrating voice, video and data as well as knitting local and wide area
networks and services into a seamless whole. It is the first communications
technological "vision" that has not only managed to unite the communication
and computer worlds, but also North America, Europe and Japan. Under
ATM, networks need no longer be optimized for one particular service, unable
to accommodate the parameters required by another.
This breakthrough does more than just make the world a tidier place. It
provides a potentially huge market for ATM equipment. A large market
attracts high, upfront investment, which translates into highly-integrated
silicon, mass-produced components, low prices and even larger markets, as the
law of supply and demand suggests.
In the long term, ATM will play a crucial role in the information
superhighway in which It is likely to provide the link between the network-
resident servers supplying information or video-streams to the local
exchanges. In this field, ATM should link up efficiently with another
technology called "Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Loop" (ADSL) which will
turn the boring old "slow lane" telephone line to the domestic home into, at
lean, a fast lane.
Huge transmission rates can be sent over one single optical fibre, but
ATM provides the key to unlocking the contents of that stream of' bits and
processing each individual one. Thus, the total flow of cells arriving at a
switch-port divides into hundreds or thousands of separate connections, each
one separately routed through the switch and beyond. Each connection may
include characteristics like "bursty" (sudden irregular) flows or steady flows at
different rates. ATM provides the switching and traffic control functions to
support this complex problem.
ATM is clearly a sophisticated, well-designed technology. But, if it is to
be successful, it has to fill a genuine need. Who needs it today, and for what?
ATM fans reel off lists of exotic applications best served by ATM: Multimedia,
teleradiology, distance-learning, desktop videoconferencing, imagearchiving,
the paperless office, video electronic mail, global workshop collaboration. All
of these applications need either the speed of ATM or its flexibility in handling
mixtures of data, video and such timing-sensitive traffic as voice.
ATM technology is certainly attractive, but a number of obstacles are holding
users back. Among their reasons:
 ATM applications and related software that support
them are not ready.
 Standards are not mature.
 Prices are still too high.
 ATM lacks a single application to drive mass-market
demand.

ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE (ATM)

Topik terpanas dalam industri TI adalah Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)


yang merupakan teknologi pertama yang menyediakan format umum untuk data
berkecepatan tinggi serta untuk panggilan telepon suara yang khas. Selain itu, format
yang digunakan, sel, sama-sama di rumah di jaringan apa pun: publik atau pribadi,
Local Area Network (LAN) atau Wide Area Network (WAN). ATM menyediakan
sarana untuk mengintegrasikan suara, video, dan data serta merajut jaringan dan
layanan area lokal dan luas menjadi suatu kesatuan yang sempurna. Ini adalah "visi"
teknologi komunikasi pertama yang tidak hanya berhasil menyatukan dunia
komunikasi dan komputer, tetapi juga Amerika Utara, Eropa, dan Jepang. Di bawah
ATM, jaringan tidak perlu lagi dioptimalkan untuk satu layanan tertentu, tidak dapat
mengakomodasi parameter yang diperlukan oleh yang lain.
Terobosan ini tidak hanya membuat dunia menjadi tempat yang lebih rapi. Ini
menyediakan pasar yang sangat besar untuk peralatan ATM. Pasar yang besar
menarik investasi awal yang tinggi, yang diterjemahkan ke dalam komponen silikon
yang sangat terintegrasi, diproduksi secara massal, harga rendah dan bahkan pasar
yang lebih besar, seperti yang dinyatakan oleh hukum penawaran dan permintaan.
Dalam jangka panjang, ATM akan memainkan peran penting dalam informasi
superhighway yang kemungkinan akan menyediakan hubungan antara server
jaringan-penduduk yang memasok informasi atau aliran-video ke bursa lokal. Di
bidang ini, ATM harus terhubung secara efisien dengan teknologi lain yang disebut
"Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Loop" (ADSL) yang akan mengubah saluran
telepon "lambat lane" yang membosankan menjadi rumah domestik menjadi, di
ramping, jalur cepat.
Tingkat transmisi yang besar dapat dikirim melalui satu serat optik tunggal,
tetapi ATM menyediakan kunci untuk membuka kunci isi aliran 'bit dan memproses
masing-masing satu. Dengan demikian, total aliran sel yang tiba di switch-port
terbagi menjadi ratusan atau ribuan koneksi terpisah, masing-masing secara terpisah
diarahkan melalui switch dan seterusnya. Setiap koneksi dapat mencakup
karakteristik seperti aliran "bursty" (tiba-tiba tidak teratur) atau aliran stabil pada
tingkat yang berbeda. ATM menyediakan fungsi pengalihan dan kontrol lalu lintas
untuk mendukung masalah yang rumit ini.
ATM jelas merupakan teknologi canggih yang dirancang dengan baik. Tetapi,
jika ingin sukses, itu harus memenuhi kebutuhan yang tulus. Siapa yang
membutuhkannya hari ini, dan untuk apa? Penggemar ATM mengeluarkan daftar
aplikasi eksotis yang paling baik dilayani oleh ATM: Multimedia, teleradiology,
pembelajaran jarak jauh, konferensi video desktop, penggambaran citra, kantor tanpa
kertas, surat elektronik video, kolaborasi lokakarya global. Semua aplikasi ini
memerlukan kecepatan ATM atau fleksibilitasnya dalam menangani campuran data,
video, dan lalu lintas sensitif-waktu sebagai suara.
Teknologi ATM tentu menarik, tetapi sejumlah kendala menahan pengguna. Di
antara alasan mereka:
• Aplikasi ATM dan perangkat lunak terkait yang mendukungnya belum siap.
• Standar tidak matang.
• Harga masih terlalu tinggi.
• ATM tidak memiliki satu aplikasi untuk mendorong permintaan pasar massal.
