A simplified performance evaluation for bursty multiclass traffic in ATM systems

In broadband ISDN with ATM, various kinds of traffic, such as voice, data and video, share the common transmission resource. For such multiclass traffic systems, it is necessary to evaluate the grade of service (GOS) for individual traffic. In particular, for the ATM networks integrating voice and video which are of bursty property and delay sensitive, the individual performance evaluation for the mixed bursty traffic an important problem. The authors propose a simplified evaluation of the individual mean waiting time for the bursty multiclass systems appearing in the ATM network and show numerical examples for voice/video system.<
