Desktop videoconferencing performance based on an ATM metropolitan area network

Abstract

The DIVINE project enables the evaluation of a high quality desktop videoconferencing system on an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) network. After the presentation of the used methodologies and performance measurement tools, we analyze the quality of service (QoS) of multimedia services implemented on the DIVINE system. Some performance evaluations have been achieved on the OASICE ATM metropolitan area network.
