IBM 2220 Nways Switch: Concepts and Products

This redbook will help you to understand and design an IBM Nways 2220
BroadBand Switch Network in a typical customer/enterprise environment.

The book provides an overview of the Nways Switch product family and the
system architecture, and gives detailed information about the hardware, software,
and systems management functions of the products, helping you to compare this
technology to the competition.

The Nways 2220 Switch is a fast-packet and ATM-cell switch family, based on
IBM's state-of-the-art Networking BroadBand Services (NBBS) architecture.

This redbook describes how the Nways 2220 Switch and NBBS meet customer
requirements for a bandwidth-efficient, integrated, high-speed, multi-services network with:
- Line cost savings by having all data and voice applications share a common backbone network.

- A valuable solution for medium-speed facilities (T1/E1) and time-division multiplexers such as Integrated Digital Network Exchange (IDNX).

- Even greater efficiency in the usage of bandwidth, particularly for applications that exhibit a bursty traffic profile using ATM fast-packet switching.

This edition gives a strong overview of Release 5 of the 2220 Switch Control Program, which may help you in selling or selecting the product.

Release 5 enhancements are:
- Support of Euro-ISDN protocol
- Support of Q.SIG interface
- Frame relay real time, support of voice over frame relay
- Merger of frame relay, HDLC, CES, ISDN and Q.SIG protocols on the same low-speed adapter.

- Basic (Point-to-Point) ATM Bearer Services
Basic knowledge of networking concepts and NBBS is assumed.
