Priority management in ATM switching nodes

Abstract

Various space priority mechanisms and their detailed performance evaluation are described. A comparative performance study is given, indicating the excellent performance characteristics of a simple buffer management scheme called partial buffer sharing. The introduction of a second bearer capability provides a 10/sup -6/ cell loss rate instead of 10/sup -10/.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
