Abstract
Quality of service and network performance parameters for voice and data transmission on existing packed and circuit switched networks are reviewed.
The parameters are classified according to three phases of call handling, namely, access phase, user information transfer phase and disengagement phase, as well as various performance criteria, such as speed, accuracy and dependability.
The main characteristics of an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network are then discussed in the context of how they affect the performance parameters considered. Based on the resulting matrix of dependencies, we partition relevant performance parameters on network elements and discuss design issues for the critical components.
