Abstract
LAN emulation offers a best-effort, connectionless, packet transfer service at the MAC sublayer, implemented on top of a connection-oriented ATM network LAN emulation using switched virtual connections requires address resolution to locate the destination end station followed by connection establishment to the resulting ATM address. Address resolution may be implemented by a broadcast technique or by an address server. The broadcast method is the simplest for small networks but a combination of both is probably better. The use of the MAC address to identify an end station, with dynamic binding to its current physical location in the ATM network, allows the ATM LAN segment to be viewed as a virtual LAN. The virtual LAN model permits end stations to move and change physical location while maintaining connection to the same ATM LAN segment. This greatly simplifies the management of large data networks.Keywords
