Abstract
Past and current campus data networks generally utilize connection-less
network layer protocols like IP. Future networks are expected to use ATM
which provides a connection-oriented service. New ATM switches are coming
to market with baseline parameters such as the number of concurrent SVC's
supported and the number of call setups possible per second. These
parameters will determine the usefulness of this equipment in large campus
networks for current applications and topologies. We present an analysis of
the effect of these parameters on the ability of a circuit-based network to
support the networking requirements of a college campus. We performed this
analysis using IP traffic logs from three distinct networks within our
campus. We consider four different ATM deployment scenarios and two circuit
replacement algorithms. From our analysis we derive expected requirements for
SVC setup rates and hold times necessary to support the measured traffic.
