Abstract
Our aim in this paper is to provide insight on a session’s performance in the presence of different speed links at an ATM multiplexer. We describe a queueing model for such scenarios considering a finite capacity buffer and bursty traffic with correlated arrivals. We use Markov Modulated Bernoulli Process (MMBP) as the traffic model for the session of interest and model the cross traffic as an MMBP with batch arrivals. We present exact analysis using an evolution method to obtain the steady-state performance measures of the session. To enhance its efficiency, a closed form, partial approximation method is also described. Using numerical results we compare a sessions performance in different scenarios of link speeds, and also study the influence of a few network and traffic characteristics.
