This paper summarizes the work done in RACE project 1022 ''Technology
for ATD'' on performance studies of ATM switching block architectures
and the studies on network performance within a small ATM network, the
so called RACE ATD Technology Testbed (RATT). The aim of the studies
was to investigate the behaviour of a typical ATM network under nomina
l load. By using the tromboning links in the RATT we were also able to
study long distance connections even in the limited size of the RATT
network. Special attention has been given to define a traffic scenario
which can also be set up for the planned experiments. The goal of the
planned experiments is to validate the performance results predicted
in our studies.
