Abstract
Daimler-Benz Research and the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) participated in one of the first transatlantic Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) field trials. We describe the intention of the project Multimedia Applications on Intercontinental Highways (MAY), its infrastructure and results of various performance evaluations based on Classical IP over ATM (CLIP) and LAN Emulation (LANE). In addition the commonly used videoconferencing tool “vic” was evaluated in various measurements. We discuss the state of the art of wide area ATM networks and their limitations. Finally, solutions to some of the problems are outlined.
