Cell Multiplexing and Adaptive Scheduling for Wide Area ATM Networks

Abstract

The ATM UBR, GFR over ABR service categories have been designed for data. However several studies have responded poor TCP performance over satellite ATM resources. We first discuss the various design options available for TCP end systems, IP-ATM switches for long latency connections. We discuss the buffer management policies generated and rate services and the virtual stores destination options in ATM. We present comparison of ATM service categories for TCP transport over satellite links.
