  • Out-of-band control for performing a loopback test for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks
    Patent number: 5710760
    Abstract: The loopback test consists of a user-application interface that connects the network operator to substantially all of the ATM points in the network. In operation, the network operator selects two ATM points as the loopback and source endpoints for the loopback test. The virtual path identification (VPI), virtual channel identification (VCI) and payload type indicator (PTI) that will be in the address header of the test cell when it arrives at the loopback endpoint location and the identification of the loopback endpoint are transmitted to the loopback endpoint in a setup message via a link from the UAI. The VPI, VCI and PTI that constitute the address header of a test cell injected at the source endpoint and destined for the loopback endpoint, and the location identification of the source endpoint are provided to the source endpoint in a setup message via a separate link from the UAI.
