ABSTRACT
In this paper we mainly discuss about the technologies called asynchronous transfer mode(ATM) and internet protocol(IP).These are the two technologies that are having their own importance in today’s communication world of transmitting the voice and video signals over a network between a source and destination.We are about to see the main differences between these technologies and compare them theoretically and practically.An advanced software called OPNET modeler is used in comparing these two technologies for different parameters such as traffic issues,Queuing delays,quality of service(QOS),congestion,time of response etc.,
INTRODUCTION
‘’NETWORK’’ this is the word that is well known by every individual of this generation as it has become their part of life right from the start of their day till it ends.After the evolving of internet there are many applications that came in to the existence producing different results in different applications where they are used and made the communication look easier from one part of the globe to the other.In any of the network topology the particular vendor will look for quality of service(QOS),reducing the congestion,etc.,
When dealing with voice and video transmission,there are particularly two technologies called asynchronous transmission mode(ATM) and internet protocol(IP).depending on the demand of the vendors,These two technologies have their own importance and are applicable in real time applications.The foremost difference between these two technologies is that ATM technology depends on switching where as IP technology follows the routing method.
Other than these two technologies there is other technology known as MPLS.This is known as the advanced version of the ATM.MPLS stands for multi protocol label switching and the function of the MPLS is to switch between the traffic and routers.This will help in
