Abstract
Measurements of the end-of-end delay and maximum throughput are reported for a typical implementation of the bottom four layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols. These comprise the transport, network, data link, and physical protocols. An overview of the four protocols is given, and the experimental environment is described. The measurement results are discussed, and some of the implementation factors that affect the performance of OSI protocols are identified.<>
