Abstract

The error performance of an ATM signaling link operating under the service specific connection oriented protocol (SSCOP) is monitored by determining the maximum retransmission count (i.e., the number of times a message has to be retransmitted from a transmitting to a receiving end) amongst those messages retransmitted within a polling interval. A quality of service (QOS) factor is the average maximum retransmission count at the end of N consecutive polling intervals. If the QOS factor is greater than a predetermined threshold, then the link is taken out of service.
