Statistics of cell loss and its application for forward error recovery in ATM network

A virtual path (VP) is modeled as a tandem queuing network. The statistics of cell loss due to cell level congestion are studied. The focus is on a designated traffic stream as it passes through an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network along a VP. The performance of a VP with forward error recovery coding scheme and the design of suitable coding schemes utilizing cell loss statistics are discussed.<
