Abstract
This paper examines the phenomenon of congestion in order to better understand the congestion management techniques that will be needed in high-speed, cell-based networks. The first step of this study is to use high time-resolution local area network (LAN) traffic data to explore the nature of LAN traffic variability. Then, we use the data for a trace-driven simulation of a connectionless service that provides LAN interconnection. The simulation allows us to characterize what congestion might look like in a high-speed, cell-based network. The most
