Patent

CA 2252577

By using a LAN emulation in an ATM environment, end systems such as workstations etc. can connect to the ATM network while software applications interact as if they are attached to a traditional LAN. The invention is a simple technique for emulating a LAN on an ATM network. According to the invention, each end system is identified by hub and port identifiers which represent a hub and a port of the hub to which the end system is connected. By labelling each ATM cell, and proper label translation at hubs, a LAN can be emulated without using network servers which would introduce cumbersome extra procedures.

En utilisant une émulation de réseau local dans un environnement MTA, on peut relier des appareils terminaux tels que des postes de travail etc. au réseau MTA, alors que les applications des logiciels interagissent comme si elles étaient rattachées à un réseau local traditionnel. L'invention porte sur une technique simple d'émulation d'un réseau local sur un réseau MTA. Selon ladite invention, chacun des appareils terminaux est identifié par ses identificateurs de concentrateur et de porte qui sont le concentrateur et la porte du concentrateur auquel l'appareil terminal est raccordé. Si l'on marque chacune des cellules MTA, et que l'on effectue une traduction adéquate des étiquettes dans les concentrateurs, il est possible d'émuler le réseau local sans avoir à utiliser de serveurs de réseau susceptibles d'introduire des procédures supplémentaires lourdes.
