A new bandwidth sharing scheme for non-responsive multicast flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we propose a new active queue management mechanism called MFQ (Multicast Fair Queuing) for multicast flows. MFQ is independent of the inter-multicast fairness policy and it interacts with a multicast bandwidth allocation module that can implement either a multicast fairness policy or a multicast pricing model and tries using a single FIFO queue to achieve the expected allocation which may depend on the number of downstream receivers. We perform simulations to evaluate the performance of MFQ for different bandwidth allocation schemes. Results obtained suggest that MFQ achieves the expected allocation for non-responsive multicast flows.

UF : Tag - based Unified Fairness
Finding an appropriate end-to-end congestion control scheme for each type of flow, such as real-time or multicast flows, may be difficult. But it becomes even more complex to have these schemes be friendly among themselves and with TCP. The assistance of routers within the network for fair bandwidth sharing among the flows is therefore helpful. However, most of the existing mechanisms that prov...

متن کاملAdaptive Queue Management with Restraint on Non-Responsive Flows
This paper proposes an adaptive queue management scheme (adaptive RED) to improve Random Early Detection (RED) on restraining non-responsive flows. Due to a lack of flow control mechanism, non-responsive flows can starve responsive flows for buffer and bandwidth at the gateway. In order to solve the disproportionate resource problem, RED framework is modified in this way: on detecting when the ...
متن کاملA Simple and Scalable Fair Bandwidth Sharing Mechanism for Multicast Flows
Despite a decade of research and development, multicast has not yet been deployed on a global scale. Among the difficulties with the current infrastructure are intermulticast fairness support, multicast congestion control, and multicast routing. In this paper, we focus on the inter-multicast fairness issue which addresses the way how the network resources are shared between competing multicast ...
متن کاملFair bandwidth sharing between unicast and multicast flows in best-effort networks
In this paper, we propose a simple scheduler called SBQ (Service-Based Queuing) to share the bandwidth fairly between unicast and multicast flows according to a new definition of fairness referred as the inter-service fairness. We also describe a new active queue management mechanism called MFQ (Multicast Fair Queuing) to fairly share the allowed multicast bandwidth among competing flows in the...
