Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA)

چکیده
The basic objectives of future Internet are to increase the network capacity, to offer a practical real-time service, and to develop a feasible charging scheme. These objectives introduce very strict requirements for the trafilc control system. This paper presents a new simple approach for traffic management: Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA). According to the SIMA concept each customer shall define only two issues before a connection establishment: a nominal bit rate (NBR) and the selection between real-time and non-real-time service classes. NBR forms the basis of charging, and it defines how the network capacity is divided among different connections during overload situations. Simplicity of SIMA means that, on the one hand, the network operator does not guarantee the continuous availability of nominal bit rate, and on the other hand, the user is allowed to send data with any bit rate independently of the NBR. The strength of SIMA lies in its wide area of applications. There is no need to build complex systems with several service classes each appropriate to only certain applications. This paper is based mainly on an unfinished IETF draft (for this reason some figures and tables are in text format). Information about SIMA is also available from http://www-mc.nokia.com/sima/.

Hardware Acceleration inside a Differentiated Services Access Node
This paper describes the hardware implementation of Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA) access node. SIMA introduces Quality of Service (QoS) in IP networks by using the IPv4 Type of Service (TOS) field as priority and real-time indication field. Hardware acceleration is used to speed up the SIMA cal-culations.
متن کاملImplementation and Measurements of Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA) Network Nodes
This paper provides an overview of an implementation of Differentiated Services interior and boundary nodes as described in the SIMA model. The operation of the network nodes was verified with a series of measurements in a simple networking environment. These measurements also give some idea about the level of Quality of Service this kind of mechanism is able to provide.
متن کاملProject DIANA - Converging and integrating IP and ATM for real-time applications
The evolution of IP and ATM share some common drivers. Both of them are addressing efficient network resource utilisation. In order to evaluate the options and combinations offered by these technologies the DIANA project is looking into the areas where ATM and IP both overlap and complete each other, that is QoS interworking between ATM and IP. This is achieved by investigating RSVP-over-ATM ap...
متن کاملDifferentiation and Interaction of Traffic: A Flow Level Study
We study what kind of differentiation can be achieved using DiffServ without admission control using a relative services approach, i.e. the rate of the flow should be in proportion to the contracted rate. We model analytically differentiation mechanisms proposed in such proposals as AF and Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA) with emphasis on modelling the interaction between various different...
متن کاملAssembly Parti Distribution Category Uc{705 Sand94{1819 Unlimited Release Tioning with a Constant Number of Translations
We consider the following problem that arises in assembly planning: given an assembly, identify a subassembly that can be removed as a rigid object without disturbing the rest of the assembly. This is the assembly partitioning problem. Speci cally, we consider planar assemblies of simple polygons and subassembly removal paths consisting of a single nite translation followed by a translation to ...
