  Abstract

Virtual LAN (VLAN) is an architecture to enable communication between end stations as if they were on the same LAN regardless of their physical locations. VLAN is a limited broadcast domain to reduce the bandwidth waste and to increase the effectiveness of the network utilization. This paper proposes two schemes to configure layer 3 VLAN on ATM-LAN networks. The first scheme uses MARS architecture, which provides IP multicast service over ATM networks. Current MARS can only serve a group in one LIS. The proposed scheme deploys a centralized VLAN server to integrates the distributed VLAN membership information at each MARS. The second scheme is based on MPOA architecture, which is proposed for shortcut unicast data transfer between ELANs. VLAN server is proposed to be deployed in MPOA server to support broadcast to a VLAN. For MPOA based scheme, protocols for distributed VLAN servers to communicate with one another to exchange VLAN information are also proposed. Finally, simulation results are presented to provide performance comparisons of the two proposed schemes.
