They skip the history of ATM, the bellheads attempt to transfer the SS7 signalling system to modern technology. But ATM was never more than a transport technology for IP.
- jeffbee 4y agoHow can you say they skip ATM when "Netheads vs Bellheads" is entirely about ATM?
- Spooky23 4y agoEasy, skip reading it.
- MeteorMarc 4y agoATM or BISDN are not mentioned. The bellheads protocol was not H.323 but Q.2931 https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-Q.2931/en https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-Q.2931/en. Also, the netheads were not so sure of success and created the ATM Forum. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATM_Forum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATM_Forum
- mcguire 4y agoATM was a horrible transport technology for IP. Start with 48 byte packets, then add virtual circuits because those packets don't leave enough room for data. Then make the virtual circuits semi-permanent because setting them up adds too much latency.
