A numerical method for performance analysis of ATM multiplexers

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical method for performance analysis of multiplexers in a wide variety of environments. Using this method, performance analysis of ATM multiplexers fed with two important classes of arrival processes, namely correlated on-off and periodic traffic, has been accomplished. Unlike generating function approaches, the proposed analysis method is in time domain and is appropriate for obtaining dynamic measures of ATM multiplexers. In this paper numerical results are found and displayed to show the effect of high priority periodic traffic on performance measures of low priority correlated streams.
