Abstract
Gigabit Ethernet and ATM network technologies have been modeled as campus network
backbones for the simulation-based comparison of their performance. Real-time voice and
video conferencing traffic is used to compare the performance of both backbone
technologies in terms of response times and packet end-to-end delays. Simulation results
show that Gigabit Ethernet has been able to perform the same and in some cases better than
ATM as a backbone network for video and voice conferencing providing network designers
with a cheaper solution to meet the growing needs of bandwidth-hungry applications in a
campus environment.
