Abstract
The author analyzes the performance of a broadband network at the ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) adaptation layer and at the ATM layer comparing variable-length cell, fixed-length cell (FLC), and multiple-FLC (MFLC) formats. The MFLC format is unique in that it is not currently under consideration by standards organizations. The performance implications of these three ATM cell formats were analyzed by assuming fixed traffic characteristics at the ATM adaptation layer. Illustrative comparisons of the resulting end-to-end delay performance, memory requirements, and network traffic overhead are presented. The results were obtained using simulation and analytical approximation techniques. >
