Abstract

We have recorded and analysed traffic generated by a set of real ATM terminal implementations running file transfer and desktop conference applications. The measurement data are used to evaluate the resource requirement of each measured implementation. We conclude that currently available ATM terminal equipment indicate a need for very large network element buffers. Finally, we compare two different principles to control the statistics of the generated traffic: ATM traffic shaping and AAL MTU size variation
