The DC-ATM products can be used in any combination to provide a complete solution for a broad range of ATM devices, as in the following examples.
- Simple ATM edge or end systems can be built using DC-Signalling
and DC-ILMI.
- Core ATM switches can add full SVC call forwarding, PVC, Soft PVC and
PNNI routing support using DC-Signalling, DC-PNNI,
DC-Call Control, and DC-SPVC.
- ATM server or IP access devices can include DC-LANE, DC-MPOA and DC-IPOA to gateway into non-ATM networks.
Additionally, all of these devices can incorporate the DC-ATM Fault Tolerance Manager to provide resilience to software and hardware faults.
All of the DC-ATM products are pre-integrated. For example, when building an ATM switch, customers only have to write integration code to manage the system, integrate with the SAR, and integrate with the switch fabric. It is not necessary to provide additional code to make the individual components work together.
