An empirical evaluation of virtual circuit holding time policies in IP-over-ATM networks.

When carrying Internet protocol (IP) traffic over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network, the ATM adaptation layer must determine how long to hold a virtual circuit opened to carry an IP datagram. We present a formal statement of the problem and carry out a detailed empirical examination of var...
