Abstract

In this paper we investigate various performance measures of interest, when comparing fast packet-switched networks that operate with either fixed or variable packet sizes. These performance measures include queue length distribution, packet loss probability, as well as user frame loss probability. The focus of the paper is on identifying key parameters that influence the outcome of this comparison, and on quantifying the potential benefits of each approach.
