A new traffic control algorithm for ABR service
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes an original approach for the ABR service in the ATM network. It belongs to the explicite rate (ER) class and assumes that the ER parameter corresponds to the instant queue size. More specifically, the ER value calculated by the switch is proportional to the difference between predefined threshold and the actual state of the queue. Therefore, the algorithm can be regarded as the one based on a proportional control scheme. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was verified by simulation and chosen exemplary numerical results referring to transient behaviour, queue occupancy, throughput of the connection as well as to the fairness are included.

Several algorithms have been proposed for the switch behavior for congestion control of Available Bit Rate (ABR) services. Schemes such as the Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm (EPRCA) and the Dynamic Max Rate Control Algorithm (DMRCA), which use the queue length as congestion indicator to make a simple approximation of the fair share converge to the actual fair share, have become po...

In this paper we evaluate various aspects of the ABR flow control schemes using three different evaluation techniques: analysis, simulation and experiments. A discrete-time Markov model alows the evaluation of the influence of different system parameters (distance between source and switch, burstiness of CBR/VBR traffic, time in between computation of Allowed Cell Rate and burstiness of ABR tra...

A rate-based congestion control algorithm has been developed and standardized in the ATM forum for ABR service class. Even though the performance of the rate-based congestion control algorithm heavily depends on the selection of those control parameters, the selection method of parameters is not shown in the standard. In this paper, by extending our previous work, appropriate settings of rate-c...

Rate-based congestion control promises effective traffic management for the ABR service class suitable to data communications in ATM networks. There have been proposed several rate-based congestion control schemes in the ATM Forum, including Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm (EPRCA) and EPRCA++ methods. While many studies have been devoted for these schemes in the past, only ABR traf...
متن کاملABR Rate Control for Multimedia Traffic Using Microeconomics
Multimedia applications are expected to play a more prevalent role in integrated service networks. One method of efficiently transmitting such traffic uses the ABR service class. However, rate control for this class becomes more difficult due to the bursty and somewhat unpredictable behavior of multimedia traffic. This paper presents a microeconomic-based ABR rate control technique that models ...
