Abstract

A methodology for the evaluation of the replacement of one network technology by another is presented here. The methodology is based on technical evaluations associated with the network capacity on the one hand, and an economic evaluation concerned with its services on the other. An application of the methodology to a case study shows that ATM should replace the available conventional packet switching over 64∼kbps digital technology immediately.
