Performance design of an ATM node on the basis of the experience from the BLNT RACE project

Abstract

This paper contains recent results of ATM traffic studies obtained by the project partners involved in the Broadband Local Network Technology (BLNT) RACE project 1012. These studies are concerned with congestion notification methods, problems in conjunction with Peak Cell Rate control and the analysis of multi-stage switching systems. The implications of these studies on the design and performance of an ATM node are discussed.
