Abstract This paper examines the perfonnance of an ATM multiplexer loaded with multimedia traffic. A simulation model has been developed to evaluate the multiplexer performance. Traffic generated from multimedia traffic sources having different burstiness factors is fed to the multiplexer input, to evaluate the cell loss and cell delay performance of the multiplexer and also to evaluate the output ATM trunk utilization. The simulation results are compared with approximate analytical results. Moreover an outline has been given for the acceptance of new calls depending on the source burstiness factor and peak source rate to avoid cell loss and excessive delays at the multiplexer.
