ABSTRACT

Performance testing is related to user-perceived performance of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology. We describe the test methodologies used to measure various frame-level quality of service metrics, such as throughput and latency. Some practical issues encountered in performance testing in an ATM test-bed environment are addressed.
