Abstract :
The author concentrate on the provision of isochronous services to users via the existing IEEE 802.6 framework using Q.931 as the signalling protocol for providing call control functions. They present possible scenarios of isochronous service provisioning via the IEEE 802.6 network. Real time performance for call setup procedures is simulated and analyzed with different priority schemes for transferring signalling messages. The results show that using a prioritized queue arbitrated (QA) bandwidth to send signalling messages greatly reduces call setup delay. Call setup delays are determined using both Poisson-type and bursty type data traffic models. The positioning of the bandwidth manager, the virtual channel identifier (VCI) server and the Q.931 signalling termination is shown to influence call setup performance
