Abstract :
Several performance measurements of ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) networks are performed and analysed. Especially, measurement of the buffer size, the traffic management functions and the cell transfer delay in a switching system are studied as a function of various traffic patterns and loading levels. These values have great importance for establishing reliable media for broadband traffic and contributing to the implementation of services in ATM networks
