One of the challenges in the interconnection of LAN and MAN to ATM is the support of connectionless traffic in the ATM network. A commonly proposed strategy consists of maintaining a low bandwidth VP(virtual path) between each pair of gateway and of requesting more bandwidth whenever a burst comes in from the LAN or MAN. Unfortunately this stratege places a heavy burden on the ATM control processor.
Therefore we proposed BA(Bandwidth Advertising) scheme, which know available bandwidth and On-the-fly transmission, which transfer bursts without prior bandwidth reservation. The BA scheme and On-the-fly transmission for connectionless traffic is described and is compared with a bandwidth renegotiation strategy.
