Abstract

The authors describe a performance study of a trial switched multimegabit data service (SMDS) link (intended for inter-LAN connection) from the perspective of customers evaluating the feasibility of the link for some target applications. The goals were to take all measurements on the customer premises and to develop a methodology general enough to be used by customers to evaluate the link. The authors measured a lightly loaded system and developed a model of the SMDS connection suitable for evaluating applications via analysis or simulation. They document their methodology and present the SMDS connection delay values as well as a likely breakdown of the constituents of that delay. They used these data to create a simulation model and to simulate a simple application. In the trial configuration, where geographical distances were small, SMDS network delay was one of the notable components of end-to-end delay in the SMDS connection. However, for most packets, throughput is limited by the T1 capacity for transmitting SMDS cells, not by the SMDS network capacity.
