Analysis of jitter in supporting multimedia service requirements over ATM

Abstract

The paper introduces a G.803 layered model to describe the multimedia service connections over ATM transport facilities. This can be used as a mechanism to compare architectural alternatives as well as analyze service quality requirements for the underlying network services. Various jitter defects arising in typical residential, institutional and commercial multimedia service applications are identified and discussed. This approach provides assurance that adequately specified and designed ATM services can accommodate the requirements of multimedia services.
