This directory contains several data files which individually contain measurements from ftp and other traffic transferred over the Fairisle network. The measurements were made using code written by Simon Crosby, and make use of the ATM infrastructure developed by members of the Systems Research Group at the University of Cambridge. You may freely distribute this data but must retain the copyright notice.
More complex experiments are in progress.
Both client and server interface directly to the ATM network. Both of these machines are DECStation 25000 mips machines running Ultrix 4.3. The ATM protocol stack and connection management are described in the blue book. The ATM switches are Fairisle fpc3-based 8x8 switches. A tick is a fabric cell time.
