Abstract

Dynamic routing, if properly designed, can increase the throughput of a network. In this paper, we formulate a traffic model for multi-point videoconferencing in a VP-based ATM network and derive the link level and the conference level blocking probabilities for Fixed Routing, ''Maximum Free Circuit'' Routing (or M Routing) and the ''Bifurcated-M Routing''. The traffic bifurcation principle can also be applied to MTB, M^2, or other routing schemes to provide additional improvements.
