Abstract
This paper proposes a new topological designmethod, named BXCQ, which optimizes logical networkconfiguration while guaranteeing Quality-of-Service(QoS) requirements for each service class in an ATMnetwork. The BXCQ method determines the optimum logicalnetwork topology associated with each service class soas to minimize network cost. In our previously proposedFull-Net architecture these different logical topologies can be suitably mapped at the sametime on the same ATM physical network by using theVirtual Channel Handler (VCH) to create differentlogical interconnection networks. The BXCQ method allows us to clarify the relations between multimediatraffic characteristics and desirable logical networkconfigurations in Full-Net. Evaluation results suggestthat a service class that is bursty, delay tolerant, and cell loss sensitive with small demandshould be supported by a loop-like topology. This studywill be useful for designing flexible and cost-effectivemultimedia networks that can also adapt to not-yet-known services.
