The cell loss probability recommended in the B-ISDN is in the range of 10–8–10–12. When a simulation technique is used to analyze the performance of the ATM node, an enormous amount of computer processing time is required. In this study, we derive an importance sampling simulation technique that can be used to evaluate the performance of the ATM node very quickly, that is, the probability that the queue size at the ATM node reaches some large value N. The simulation results show that the backlog probability obtained by the importance sampling simulation is very close to that obtained by the ordinary simulation and the computer time can be reduced drastically by the importance sampling simulation.
