Abstract

A number of issues that influence the throughput of an ATM network are discussed. The possibilities of multiplexing levels within the ATM concept, different AAL performance, the effect of different arrival processes used are mentioned. The throughput performance for some congestion control mechanisms are analyzed. It is shown that the notification of congestion should be done already with a rather small buffer occupancy, and that the physical distance between the sender and receiver is an important parameter for the throughput performance
