Credit-Based Flow Control for ATM Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In credit-based flow control for ATM networks, switch buffer space is first allocated to each virtual circuit (VC) and then credit control is applied to the VC to prevent possible buffer overflow. Adaptive buffer allocation improves sharing by allowing dynamic allocation of buffer space to multiple VCs sharing the same buffer pool. This paper gives an overview of credit flow control and presents performance results from simulations.

Credit - Based Flow Control for ATM Networks
Congestion control ensures that network resources are divided fairly and efficiently among competing connections. Although congestion control has been studied by researchers for a long time, very high-speed networks using ATM pose a new set of challenges. The proposed credit-based mechanism provides flow control tailored to ATM networks. Simulation, analysis and experiments on switching hardwar...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of ATM Congestion Control Mechanisms
Tt is widely believed that closed-loop per-VC flow control is needed to effectively deal with congestion for ABR traffic in ATM networks. The many ATM flow control mechanisms that have been proposed can be divided in two classes. A first class consists of roundtrip-based rate control algorithms in which a source selects a transmit rate for each VC, based on feedback from the switches along its ...

ATM is representative of the connection-oriented resource provisioning class of protocols. The ATM network is expected to provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to connections in the form of bounds on delays, errors and/or losses. Performance management in ATM network depend upon different parameters. ABR flow control is one of the important parameter for performance management. In this paper, we sh...
متن کاملAnalysis and Dimensioning of Credit-based Flow Control for the Abr Service in Atm Networks
ATM networks have shown to reveal difficulties in simultaneously guaranteeing the requested Quality-of-Service while efficiently utilizing all the available bandwidth for economic reasons. The ABR (available bit rate) service class was designed to fill the gap of bandwidth with less delay but loss sensitive traffic. Due to the bursty nature of higher-priority traffic and the resulting bandwidth...
