Interconnection of FDDI-II networks through an ATM backbone- An analysis

The waiting time and queue length characteristics of isochronous, synchronous and asynchronous traffic at the gateway between FDDI-II and ATM networks are analyzed. A generalized approach to analyze various classes of traffic separately, is discussed. We first present an overview of our gateway model. Next, a deterministic analysis of isochronous traffic is presented. Synchronous and asynchronous classes of traffic are analyzed with the gateway model used. These results are compared with those generated by our simulator.
