Abstract
A test instrument for measuring the rate and size of bursts of cells received at a given node of an ATM network with respect to a particular virtual connection includes a cell filter for identifying cells belonging to the virtual connection. The 'leaky bucket' algorithm is implemented for determining conformity with contractual performance standards, and for delineating the bursts.
