Abstract

In this paper, a simplified practical method for dimensioning asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) systems is proposed. Packet switching services are classified into two categories: connection-oriented packet switching (COPS) with quality of service (QoS) guaranteed and connection-less packet switching (CLPS) on a best effort basis. A new control scheme is proposed for maintaining the cell-level QoS requirement for the COPS even in overload conditions. A dimensioning method is also proposed for the system where the COPS is served with nonpreemptive priority over the CLPS. The methods proposed are expected to contribute to the realization of robust and economical ATM systems
