[Linux-ATM-General] buffers?

[wensly <wy...@cr...>]

I am having a system that connecting 2 atm cards (forerunner 155Mbits) ba=
ck-to=20
back using a PVC. (in Linux Red Hat 7.3) The system is set up for a resea=
rch=20
project in performance of ATM networks.

I tried to send a file (MPEG) from the basestation to the server and I al=
ways=20
get some Rx package drops. I am thinking it is because the buffer overflo=
w=20
problem. Is it the case?

I am wondering if there is a buffer on the ATM card itself, or is there a=
=20
internal buffer inside Linux

I hope that some of you may help me. Thanks alot.
