Improving Internet Traffic Transport over Abr Backbones through Bandwidth Overbooking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of ABR service on Internet backbones has been recently proposed as a means to improve statistical multiplexing and to recover the bandwidth left over by VBR traac. While this approach permits far better utilization of ATM resources than it is possible otherwise with the CBR service, full link utilization is seldom achieved. In this paper we address the reasons why the ABR ow control cannot track the dynamic variations on the available bandwidth along backbone links and we propose an approach to improve resource utilization that relies on bandwidth overbooking. The proposed scheme avoids cell losses and unnecessary rate reductions.

Bandwidth Efficiency in Internet AVPNs*
The efficient utilization and management of bandwidth in broadband networks is of paramount importance since bandwidth costs are likely to dominate network operational costs, especially in the wide area scenario. However, relatively little attention has been given to this issue in developing the current schemes for the transport of Internet data traffic over ATM. In this paper we describe a ban...

The Internet has traditionally relied on end-to-end congestion control performed at the transport layer by TCP. In this paper, we discuss the limitations of this approach to address the large number of ows and the large delay-bandwidth product scenarios typical of next generation Internets. We propose a link layer back-pressure ow control which can be applied to Inter-net backbones over ATM. Mo...
متن کاملConstant-Time Dynamic ATM Bandwidth Scheduling for Guaranteed and Best Effort Services with Overbooking
In this paper, we present an analysis of an existing ratebased ABR scheduling algorithm described in [1], and propose an enhanced rate-based round robin (RBR) scheduling algorithm for ATM switches and end systems. One of the novel aspects of RBR is that the scheduler supports available bit rate (ABR) traffic as well as guaranteed bandwidth reservations. In addition, bandwidth overbooking is all...
متن کاملPerformance of TCP/IP over ATM over an ADSL
The performance of TCP/IP over ATM over an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) was investigated. Because the bandwidth of an ADSL link can vary over time due to changes in the link’s physical conditions, which degrades TCP performance, we performed simulations for various ATM traffic controls, including available bit rate (ABR) and generic flow control, used to handle variations in the AD...
