Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0074434A1] An ATM network emulator (ANE) system includes ATM terminal emulators (ATEs) or ATM switch emulators (ASEs) or both interconnected at the control layer which are operative at real-time processing rates. The ANE further includes a management subsystem (ANE manager) for managing an ATM network interface to said ATM network environment. The ANE manager, ASE or ATE, or both can be interconnected with other ASEs or ATEs, or both in various combinations via Internet Protocol (IP) links for passing process control and data related to the control layer, and the ANE manager, ASE or ATE or both can be connected with real ATm switches via real-time communication links. The ANE manager can control the distribution of processes among interconnected processors to achieve real-time operation in real or simulated real-time environments for testing and emulating a variety of ATM network configurations.
