In the first part of this paper the influence of the arrival process on these three performance parameters is discussed. The values of these three performance parameters depend strongly on the utilization distribution over the input trunks of the multiplexer while the total utilization on the input trunks is fixed. If there is the same utilization on all input trunks, the values of these three performance paramters reach a maximum. This result is also valid for an ATM switching matrix with a separate FIFO buffer at each output trunk. In the second part of this paper some examples are provided of how to apply the results of these studies to the future broadband ISDN which is intended to transmit services with very high bit rates (e.g. 135 Mb/s) as well as services with very low bit rates (e.g. 64 kb/s).
