Abstract:

This contribution discusses the data transmission aspects of API semantics for native ATM services. Specifically, this contribution: 1. clarifies the semantics of the send and receive primitives presented in the baseline document 94-0150R5. 2. presents an alternative model for data transmission that is appropriate for emerging applications with high bandwidth and low latency requirements. This alternative model is intended to complement the socket-like send-receive model in the baseline document. 3. describes API flow control mechanisms required for data transmission.
