Computer Simulation for the Evaluation of Static and Dynamic Priority Schemes in an ATM Multiplexer with Multimedia Traffic

摘要

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of static and dynamic priority schemes for ATM multiplexers using digital computer simulation and has three main parts. The first provides a basic computer simulation model of an ATM multiplexer with multimedia traffic streams that enables investigation of static and dynamic priority schemes. The second part uses the simulation model to study such schemes. The third part investigates combined dynamic space and dynamic time priorities to provide better performance for ATM multiplexers in comparison to using dynamic time priority only.
