Abstract :
Traffic at varying bit rates, packet lengths and packet rates are passed across a bottleneck link. The router response is determined, especially the onset of instability due to excessive CPU load. The paper concludes that it is primarily packet rate that governs the router response. The results are relevant to multimedia streaming applications
