UNKNOWN
means that special engineering is required for this application
because of the transit traffic. The special treatment is necessary because the
feasibility depends on the volume of the transit traffic. Making any of the changes
suggested for
NO
above might make it feasible regardless of the transit traffic.
Constraint tests
If your calculations do not yield a
YES
, this section provides the resources of
which you are short. These tests check 7 ATM switch resource limitations against
6 different application scenarios. A 1 in the Test Results (Table 1-7
) indicates a
passed test; a 0 indicates a failed test. To achieve a
YES
feasibility, all 42 tests
must pass. To achieve a
PROBABLY
, only 21 tests (indicated in
bold
) must
pass.
