An analysis of statistical multiplexing in an ATM transport network

Hiroshi Saitō, Masatoshi Kawarasaki, Hiroshi Yamada

Abstract

The traffic characteristics of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network are analyzed by theoretical methods. A new method is proposed to express the burstiness of the cell arrival process. Both statistical multiplexing and statistical bandwidth allocation are quantitatively evaluated. When packetized video traffic and voice traffic are multiplexed, the number of multiplexable sources strongly depends on the peak bit rate of the multiplexed video sources, and statistical bandwidth allocation is ineffective without control. On the other hand, lowering the peak bit rate of video traffic effectively improves bandwidth utilization.>
