Issue
Cost of ownership Bandwidth efficiency Multiservice Quality of service (QoS) Scalability = very poor = weak = fair

TDM
AT M
Remarks
ATM lowers recurring bandwidth and operation costs ATM enables different applications to share bandwidth while preserving QoS ATM delivers multiservice capability without affecting bandwidth efficiency; TDM provides multiservice capability at the expense of bandwidth efficiency ATM enables QoS without affecting bandwidth efficiency; TDM enables QoS at the expense of bandwidth efficiency ATM networks can evolve to support emerging bandwidth-intensive applications = good = excellent
L I M I TAT I O N S
Limitation
High recurring bandwidth cost
OF
TDM
Why
Bandwidth inefficiency
Detail
Bandwidth is wasted with statically mapped CBR-like connections (MCR=SCR=PCR) During periods of no traffic, bandwidth is not reassigned to other applications Inability to efficiently accommodate bursty data applications When all available bandwidth is allocated, additional bandwidth must be procured
Limited application performance
QoS is delivered at the expense of bandwidth; limited bursting capability Bandwidth generally limited to T3/E3; no trunking over public ATM services
Cannot support bursty data, even during periods of voice silence, because bandwidth is statically allocated
Limited scalability to support traffic growth and new applications
Increasing traffic and new applications require a migration path to broadband connectivity Architecture is not optimal for broadband services, especially for New World IP-based applications Public ATM services cannot be used for trunking
A D VA N TA G E S
Advantage
Savings in recurring bandwidth cost
OF
AT M
Why
Bandwidth efficiency gained with statistical multiplexing
Detail
Bandwidth is dynamically shared among all applications Multiservice integration saves bandwidth Silence suppression for voice and repetitive pattern suppression for circuit data save bandwidth Use of public ATM services for trunking provides a cost-effective alternative to leased lines ABR with VS/VD enables monitoring and adjusting of the cell rate of connections, avoiding congestion Large dynamically assigned buffers QoS is guaranteed with: Per-virtual circuit queuing Per-virtual circuit rate scheduling Multiple classes of services (CoSs), including CBR, RT-VBR, NRT-VBR, UBR, ABR Traffic growth is accommodated by offering a migration path to broadband networking Architected specifically for multiservice networksenabling New World applications TDM CoSs and native ATM CoS are supported Legacy interfaces (X.25, circuit data, voice) and native Frame Relay or ATM are supported
Enhanced application performance
Efficient traffic management optimizes application throughput User applications firewalled and fair allocation of excess bandwidth provided Evolution enabled to broadband connectivity Seamless integration into existing environments
Guaranteed QoS levels for different applications Scalable architecture to support new applications Smooth migration path from TDM
