Yes - multiplexed LRD is likewise LRD.

You need a whole lot of buffer to absorb bursts.
> 3. Where can I find Video traffic database (e.g., film compressed by
> Mpeg-2)?
I know these exist, but unfortunately can't point you at any.
> 4. Are there any mail groups discussing LRD and/or ATM?
I don't know of any for LRD. ATM is discussed in the newsgroup
comp.dcom.cell-relay.
To get more detailed answers, you should dig through the past five
years of SIGCOMM proceedings, and also the past three or so years
of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, both of which have had a
number of LRD-related papers.
