Abstract
A multimedia service connection is usually composed of
several components, e.g., video, voice, data and control.
Characteristics of these tributaries may vary
substantially and thus it has been difficult to
develop comprehensive analytical models to estimate,
e.g., delay or bit error ratio performance.
Additionally, queuing at various network nodes changes
characteristics of the bit streams leading to
increase of traffic burstiness. Due to the bursty nature
of multimedia traffic, buffering easily becomes a
critical issue consequently affecting delay performance.
Since no adequate models for delay estimation are
available, this paper approaches the performance problem
by carrying out measurements in studying delay
performance in multimedia switching nodes. MMPP
(Markow-Modulated Poisson Process)
distribution was chosen to represent performance and
bursty nature of multimedia traffic.
