Abstract
The authors investigate various performance measures of interest, when fast packet-switched networks that operate with either fixed or variable packet sizes are compared. These performance measures include queue length distribution, packet loss probability, and user frame loss probability. The focus is on identifying key parameters that influence the outcome of this comparison, and on quantifying the potential benefits of each approach
