Introduction to DTM
Overview
DTM is designed to utilise fully the almost unlimited capacity of optical fibres, emphasizing simplicity and avoiding computation-demanding principles for traffic policing and buffering. This paper introduces the basic principles behind DTM.
DTM, Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode, is a broadband network architecture based on circuit switching augmented with dynamic reallocation of time slots. DTM provides a service based on multicast, multirate channels with short set-up delay. DTM supports
applications with real-time QoS requirements as well as applications characterized by bursty, asynchronous traffic. DTM is designed to utilise fully the almost unlimited capacity of optical fibres, emphasizing simplicity and avoiding computation-demanding
principles for traffic policing and buffering, This paper introduces the basic principles behind DTM.
