Abstract

The paper describes an approximate generalised stochastic Petri net (GSPN) model of an ATM LAN where one user exploits the RRM ABR service category, and illustrates some numerical results. The approximate GSPN model is constructed adopting a recently proposed approach for the use of GSPNs in the development of performance models of ATM network components. The numerical results quantify the dependence of the performance of the ATM LAN on several system parameters, such as the the threshold buffer size, the ABR feedback delay, and the threshold values used by the ATM switch to monitor congestion
