Abstract

In this paper, the authors present the result of a study carried out on the individual impact of the three important parameters of Variable Bit Rate traffic of ATM transmission on the total volume of data transmitted. The simulation of the behavior of the VBR traffic in response to different values of, and combination VBR traffic descriptors is as presented. The measurement of the average cell rate determined from the total cell transmitted was examined for different combination of the values of the three parameters: Peak Cell Rate (PCR), Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR) and Maximum Burst Size (MBS). From the result, we concluded that the dominant factor in determining the volume of cells transmitted is the SCR.
