Abstract :
In order to support multimedia applications on top of a network, the underlying network must transfer the data which include text, graphics, images, audio, and video promptly and correctly. Recent development in high-speed local area networks such as FDDI is capable of supporting such applications. Moreover, there is a trend showing that different kinds of networks can be interconnected by ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) switches. In view of this, a series of simulation experiments have been conducted to investigate the effects of ATM switches for internetworks multimedia applications under different network parameters
