Abstract	ATM has been widely accepted as the key enabling technology for emerging multimedia applications. We at the Honeywell Technology Center are investigating the application of this technology to real-time control systems. The Mercuri wide area ATM testbed is a collaborative research effort in this direction. In this paper we describe our experiences from a series of performance evaluation experiments on the Mercuri testbed. Besides measuring application level throughput and round-trip delay, we investigated the support for real-time provisions like priority and deadline guarantees, which are especially important for control applications. We also measured delay and jitter for remote video transfer under no-load and loaded conditions. The major conclusion of our experiments is that the end systems remain a major bottleneck for high speed communications. We point out possible causes of performance degradation in this paper and outline some issues that need to be resolved for ATM to become a viable alternative for real-time multimedia based control applications.
