Design and implementation of an integrated voice, data, and video services network

The design issues in implementing an integrated voice, data, and video services system on a token ring network are discussed. The presence of real-time traffic, namely voice, on the same network makes the implementation complicated. The performance requirements of these traffic types are different. Voice creates stream traffic on a network, whereas data traffic is bursty. Voice packets need to be delivered within a limited time interval, whereas the data emphasizes error-free delivery. A possible solution, supported by a simulation study, is discussed.<
