A bibliography on performance issues ATM networks

Abstract

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the transport mode of choice for B-ISDN. In order for high speed networks to become a reality, a number of performance issues has to be resolved. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the literature in developing performance models to explore a wide range of performance problems varying from understanding the performance of a switch architecture to implementing efficient congestion control mechanisms and light weight transport protocols. In this paper, we briefly discuss various performance problems that arise in ATM networks and provide a bibliography of related papers reported in the literature.
