Evaluation of ATM service quality in future ATM tactical networks

The paper presents an evaluation of network services (CBR, VBR and TCP over UBR) in the future ATM tactical network. The included numerical results refer to the tested network configuration, called the extended bottleneck topology. Compared to cable ATM network, the studied system takes into account the wireless environment of the tactical network. More precisely, the presence of transmission errors as well as radio access control protocol is assumed. Additionally, a comparison of ATM service quality between wireless and cable network is included.
