Behavior of a Link in a PVC Network

Abstract
The purpose of the note is to discuss the properties of a single link in a Packetized Virtual Circuit (PVC) network under a load consisting of a combination of voice and data traffic. Such properties as the mean waiting time for data packets, overall line utilization, and required amount of buffering are investigated as a function of the percentage of the channel dedicated to voice. A combination of simulation and analytic techniques have been used to obtain the results described here. These results indicate the possibility of achieving line utilizations of up to 98%, within quite practical values of buffering, and packet delay.
