Abstract

We deal with mapping performance-oriented IP services such as Integrated Services (IntServ) or Differentiated Services (DiffServ) onto network performance parameters for cell-switched transport networks, as for example ATM. The impact of translating IP performance parameters into ATM network services is analyzed and the detrimental effects of careless mappings are illustrated. Then, approaches to circumvent these detrimental effects are presented
