Conclusions from the daily results

The following conclusions can be given from the tables with daily values from which the average roundtrip values are presented here:

• When the average roundtrip values from 2000/02/10 (figure 6) are compared with the results from 1999/06/26 (figure 7), it is clear that there are much more variations in the data from 1999/06/26. This is especially true for the connection between RUL and TUD and for the Internet data. As expected these differences are much larger for the maximum roundtrip values, while they are almost disappeared for the minimum roundtrip values, however, the recently obtained Internet data still show less variations compared with the older data.
• When the throughput values are compared at both days, it is clear that the more recent values for the Internet connections are in general larger compared to the older values. Sometimes they are even larger than the values for the ATM connections. However, for both days the values for the ATM connections contain less variations. In general the ATM throughput values are slightly decreases when the recent data are compared with the older ones.
