A Real-time Test-bed for Prototyping Cell-based Communication Networks

The 5th IEEE lnternational Workshop on Rapid System Prototyping, Grenoble, France, June 1994, pp. 34-39.

Abstract: This paper presents the basic components and configurations of a real-time test-bed developed for prototyping cell-based communication systems. Although it was initially developed for demonstrating the effectiveness of compression and adaptation techniques in 3DTV transmission over B-ISDN, the test-bed can also be used for measuring the performance of various services and applications over B-ISDN, and other cell-based networks. The hardware has been based mainly on FPGAs, allowing the implementation of various communication functions following either the CCITT recommendations or proprietary access protocols.
