Asynchronous Transfer Mode ATM is a high-speed networking technology designed to support real-time applications such as voice and video over both wired and wireless networks. This type of network is being used by medium-to-large organizations and the Internet service providers as backbone network to carry data traffic over long-distance with a guaranteed quality of service QoS. The guaranteed QoS is achieved through a point-to-point link between end users. While the performance of ATM network over wired network has been studied extensively, the performance of real-time traffic over an ATM-Wireless extension has not been fully explored yet. It is useful to be able to compare the performance of ATM network with and without wireless extension against various network performance metrics to find out the effect of wireless extension on system performance.
