Abstract
We propose an ATM‐LAN interconnection solution using multiple virtual channel connections, so that each MAC frame can be divided into cells and be transmitted via several parallel links simultaneously. The performance of the ATM‐LAN gateway in such setups, including multiplexing gain and the end‐to‐end delay, is studied via approximate analysis and simulations. Our approach is shown to provide better multiplexing effects under various traffic environments.
