Abstract

A simple protocol is presented for establishing and terminating circuit-switched communications within a metropolitan area network (MAN) that supports both circuit-switched communication (for voice and video) and packet-switched communication (for data and file transfers). A mathematical model of the MAN is used to study its performance with respect to the circuit-switched communication and its effects on the pocket-switched communication. The models are numerically solved by the mean-value-analysis algorithm
