Signaling and Operating System Support for Native-Mode ATM Applications
Applications communicating over connectionless networks, such as IP, cannot obtain per-connection Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In contrast, the connection-oriented nature ...

Dynamics of TCP Traffic Over ATM Networks
We investigate the performance of TCP connections over ATM networks without ATM-level congestion control, and compare it to the performance of TCP over packet-based networks. For ...
