IP over ATM - performance evaluation, experiments and results

摘要

This paper evalautes the performance of the IP protocol having ATM technology as the network support. Two models are approached:"The Classical IP and ARP over ATM" and "LAN Emulation". The theoretical performance was calculated based on he protocol overhead sources and compared to practical experiments. It is shown that: for applications working in IP over ATM environment, when we use short blocks of information transfer, the performance deteriorates considerably; and when we increase its size the performance, on the average, is limited about 86
