Performance Analysis of Pnni Routing in Atm Networks: Hierarchical Reduced Load Approximation*
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the performance issue of PNNl routing for ATM networks. A brief introduction to PNNI routing protocol is given. We extend the reduced load approximation algorithm to ATM networks with PNNI routing. A hierarchical reduced load approximation scheme is proposed The scheme includes two steps: the reduced load approximation algorithm is first applied on the aggregated network at upper level; then the approximation is refined at the lower level as needed using the results ji-om the upper level. This hierarchical scheme follows the PNNI routing framework and results a fast and scaleable algorithm.

Although the ATM Forum has proposed the Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) Specification to facilitate routing in ATM networks, path selection or routing algorithms that guarantee a user’s multiple Quality of Service (QoS) requirements remain an open issue since the PNNI protocol only provides a routing framework and does not standardize on a method of finding an appropriate path. In this...
