![]() Recognizing the importance of congestion and traffic management inprivate ATM networks, the HyperSwitch A100 is designed to support up to2,000 (minimum 1,000) cells of buffering per port - more than any otherprivate network ATM switch. Unlike other ATM switches that come only infixed, fully-populated configurations, the HyperSwitch can be purchasedwith any number of interfaces, reducing entry costs. , supports upto 16 155-Mbps ATM interfaces. ![]() "As a founding member of the ATM Forum, and chair of the LAN emulationworking group, Cisco is committed to the development and implementation ofcurrent and emerging industry standards that permit true interoperability."Ĭisco will continue to play a leading role as the ATM Forum pursuesdevelopment of the Phase 1 P-NNI standard, a more sophisticated andscalable version of Phase 0 that is expected to be finalized by the secondhalf of 1995. Now, for thefirst time, users can build multi-switch, multi-vendor networks and set upswitched virtual connections across those networks without resorting toproprietary protocols that lock customers into a single vendor'ssolution. Cisco led the way in defining this protocol, which provides anurgently needed interoperability standard for ATM networks. The combination of the HyperSwitch and the AIP card willallow users to create high-speed switched internetworks that eliminatecongestion problems in corporate backbone internetworks.Īn Interoperability Standard for ATM Networks Lang called Phase 0 P-NNI support "a critical component of our ATMstrategy. Larry Lang, senior product line manager, said, "Cisco is the firstvendor to offer both a PNNI-compliant ATM switch and a UNI-compliant ATMrouter, providing the industry's only complete ATM solution based on ATMForum standards. The two products together form a key part ofthe CiscoFusion(tm)architecture, which combines routing and multi-layerswitching technologies to build scalable, secure and intelligententerprise internetworks. ![]() (AIP), which began shipping in May for the firm's high-end Cisco7000 family of routers. The HyperSwitch will be used in conjunction with Cisco's The new product will be the first ATM switch to supportthe Phase 0 P-NNI (Private Network Node Interface) protocol adopted by theATM Forum in July and soon to be finalized as the first available solutionfor ensuring interoperability among multi-vendor ATM switches. ![]() 15, 1994 - Cisco Systems next month will begincustomer shipments of its Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch, theHyperSwitch A100. ![]()
