Abstract

The objective of this investigation is to implement a technology that provides measurements of quality of service (QoS) of established local area networks. Improvements of the required infrastructure for applications of telelearning (videoconference, electronic blackboard, shared applications…) are implemented with a minimal cost. We are implementing features of ATM on Ethernet local area networks, through the protocol "Cells In Frame" (CIF). This protocol encapsulates ATM cells in Ethernet frames using CIF specification. Values of measured parameters reveal that the implementation provides the ATM quality of service necessary for telelearning traffic type.
