Abstract

This paper describes the flow-control performance in a HIPPI-ATM conversion system defined by ANSI. The influence of the transmission distance and new-credit sending interval are respectively evaluated by simulation for conversion between an 800-Mbit/s HIPPI interface and a 622-Mbit/s ATM interface. In order to assume an optimum new-credit sending interval, we also derive analytical expressions for the transfer performance by analyzing a protocol-sequence diagram for flow control. The validity of these expressions is confirmed by simulation results. It is shown that these expressions are effective in designing a new-credit sending interval taking into consideration traffic in the return path, the required transfer performance level, and transmission delay
