Abstract
LAN interconnection is expected to be the first ser­
vice offered by ATM based B­ISDN. Since traffic on
the current LANs is connectionless and bursty, the
main challenge will be to provide an efficient con­
nectionless service over connection oriented ATM
network. One of the methods proposed for trans­
porting bursty LAN traffic over ATM is to set up
an ATM connection upon arrival of a burst and
close the connection while there is no traffic. We
investigate the performance of such method of LAN
interconnection. We present results, obtained from
extensive simulations, to show the effects of buffer
