MIL-STD-188-176
1. SCOPE
1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this military standard
(MIL-STD) is to provide a profile of applicable standards to be
used by all Department of Defense (DoD) activities and associated
organizations when acquiring asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)
products, systems, or services.
1.2 Applicability . This MIL-STD is to be used by acquisition authorities when procuring ATM products, systems, or services.
1.3 Objective . The objective of this MIL-STD is to provide a list of applicable ATM documents that promote interoperability between and among commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) ATM products, systems, and services. The ATM standards selected are based on
the following priority order (highest priority first): implementation agreements reached by the ATM Forum, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, International Telecommunications Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) [formerly the International Telephone and Telegraph Consultative Committee (CCITT)] recommendations, International Standardization Organization (ISO) standards, and MIL-STDs that address military-unique requirements. Should a conflict occur, the conflict should be resolved using the priority order stated.
1.4 Revisions . Due to the dynamic nature of ATM technology, this MIL-STD will be a living document and will be updated to reflect developments of new commercial standards, as necessary. Mature draft documents will be referenced where approved documents are not available and considered as design objectives until such time as they become final and are entered in the next update period.
1.5 Interoperability . Interoperability of DoD telecommunication systems, and of DoD with non-DoD telecommunication systems, has been and will continue to be a major consideration in developing and adopting standards for military use. This MIL-STD adopts specific commercial ATM standards and design parameters that have been proven to work. ATM supports end-to-end digital networks and merges voice and data communications into a common format. This MIL-STD, a standardized profile, is to be used in all new or major upgrades of inter- and intra-DoD ATM systems and equipment to facilitate interoperability.
