TUI Network Architectures and Technologies Discussion
The evolution of WAN architectures has involved a variety of dominant designs such as T-1 and T-3 lines, which are still quite popular but do not meet high-traffic demands. Instead, Frame Relay and ATM are more commonly used to provide an interface to public high-speed switched networks. ATM, SDMS, and SONET are capable of handling voice, image, and data traffic concurrently. In addition, most ATM suppliers provide permanent virtual connections of dedicated time division multiplexing (TDM) channels to set up private networks.
