Loss and Delay Study of LAN Interconnection over ATM

چکیده
LAN interconnection is expected to be the rst service ooered by ATM based B-ISDN. Since traac on the current LANs is connectionless and bursty, the main challenge will be to provide an eecient con-nectionless service over connection oriented ATM network. One of the methods proposed for transporting bursty LAN traac over ATM is to set up an ATM connection upon arrival of a burst and close the connection while there is no traac. We investigate the performance of such method of LAN interconnection. We present results, obtained from extensive simulations, to show the eeects of buuer size, VC bandwidth and connection setup time on the frame loss rate, average frame delay and VC bandwidth utilisation at the LAN-to-ATM inter-working unit.

TCP Performance Over ATM Based LAN Interconnection Services
We consider the performance of TCP/IP traffic over a LAN interconnection service (such as SMDS) based on ATM. In order to achieve a reasonable utilisation of the ATM network and at the same time guarantee the packet loss probability specified by SMDS, a shaping buffer is necessary in the MAN to WAN interworking unit. Through simulation studies we show that good TCP performance may be achieved w...
متن کاملCell Delay Variation and Burst Expansion in ATM Networks: Results from a Practical Study Using Fairisle
Current interest in cell delay variation in ATM networks arises from the need to provide guarantees on loss and delay for traac with real time constraints. This study uses the Fairisle ATM LAN to measure the CDV experienced by CBR and periodic, bursty sources when multiplexed with Bernoulli, VBR video and LAN interconnection traac, in a network of non-blocking ATM switches. We nd that higher bi...
متن کاملImplementation of Virtual LANs over ATM WANs
Virtual LANs (VLANs) allow to interconnect users over campus or wide area networks and gives the users the impression as they would be connected to the same local area network (LAN). The implementation of VLANs is based on ATM Forum’s LAN Emulation and LAN/ATM switches providing interconnection of emulated LANs over ATM and the LAN ports to which the user’s end systems are attached to. The pape...

متن کاملPerformance of Interconnecting FDDI Networks through ATM when Managing Video Traffic
The interest in LAN interconnection through high speed networks is becoming increasingly important because new applications with stronger timing and bandwidth requirements are arising. This paper studies the end-to-end performance achieved when routing FDDI traffic through an ATM network. Traffic consists of merged IP and coded, packetized video. A main contribution of this work is the use of r...
