It is shown that peak cell rate policing can be combined with fast reservation protocols for
achieving statistical multiplexing in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. A cell …

Internet, especially in the situation when network has bursty background traffic. However, it
is usually difficult to evaluate the statistics of delay and delay jitter in such bursty traffic …

Most of modern communication systems are based on operation of fixed-size data packets
like cells or slots. Due to this property discrete-time modelling techniques are increasingly …

In this paper, the modification of a tagged traffic stream due to statistical multiplexing is
studied by presenting a numerical approach for the calculation of the tagged delay jitter and …

Traffic streams-originally shaped to comply with desired traffic descriptors-may suffer
substantial distortion within an ATM network due to statistical multiplexing. As a …

The control of cell processes plays a central role in ATM network management and strongly
influences the overall system overload behavior and the quality of service. One of the crucial …

In this paper, an analysis of a general spacer mechanism as used in ATM systems and
being part of the usage parameter control functions is developed. The cell process which is …

Packet/cell switched data networks are increasingly being utilized to carry multimedia traffic
(eg, video and voice). This trend is expected to continue with the deployment on a …

The emergence of broadband technologies such as ATM gives rise to new developments in
the domain of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). In this paper, a target Broadband VPN (B …

The problem of evaluating the end-to-end performance in an ATM environment is known to
be difficult and largely open. Since applications may have very different quality of service …
