Design for Performance of Broadband Signalling and Services
Dave Morris, Ann Elvidge · 2001
Chapter 11 outlines performance studies of a number of design scenarios for providing broadband services. These studies consider interactive multimedia services, looking at service demand, physical network topology, signalling message flows, the mapping of functional entities to physical components, and routing, as part of the network design process. The most significant performance issues identified relate to bottlenecks, capacity requirements, and load-dependent response times as perceived by the customer.
