This paper presents a mathematical model for evaluating the impact of information aggregation on the performance of PNNI-driven ATM networks. The routing aggregation scheme affects both the performance and scalability of these networks. However, to date, little is still known on how the choice of PNNI configuration parameters influences the network behavior. A generic model for the aggregation process is proposed in order to study its impact on the network utilization and routing overhead. Random geometric considerations are used to obtain closed-form approximations of various performance measures.
