Title : ERICA + : Extensions to the ERICA Switch Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several enhancements to ERICA are described. The resulting scheme, ERICA+ provides congestion avoidance with 100% utilization. Even at 100% utilization, the queue lengths are bounded. The scheme gives better control of end-to-end delay compared to other schemes and keeps link utilization of expensive links high despite idle periods in the input load. The scheme responds well to VBR traffic by estimating the ABR capacity and employing a scheduling strategy between ABR and VBR. Simulation results on a set of representative configurations will be presented.

متن کاملTitle: Tbe and Tcp/ip Traffic Distribution: Atm Forum Technical Working Group Members (traffic Management)
The effect of TCP traffic over ATM ABR is studied with the ERICA switch algorithm. ABR implements its rate-based traffic control at switches (via ER algorithms like ERICA) and at sources (via source rules, such as, Rule 6, which uses TBE parameter). TCP implements its own traffic controls via slow start window control. We study the interaction between the two mechanisms. In particular, this con...
متن کاملThe ERICA Switch Algorithm for ABR Tra c Management in
This paper describes the \Explicit Rate Indication for Congestion Avoidance (ERICA)" scheme for rate-based feedback from ATM switches. ERICA was one of the rst such schemes and has motivated the development of several other schemes. It has been used extensively in the literature as a baseline for comparison. In ERICA, the switches monitor their load on each link, determine a load factor, the av...
متن کاملThe ERICA Switch Algorithm for ABRTra c Management in ATM Networks 1
This paper describes the \Explicit Rate Indication for Congestion Avoidance (ERICA)" scheme for rate-based feedback from ATM switches. In ERICA, the switches monitor their load on each link, determine a load factor, the available capacity , and the number of currently active virtual channels. This information is used to advise the sources about the rates at which they should transmit. The algor...
