Simulation Based Analysis of the Interaction of End-to-end and Hop-by-hop Flow Control Schemes in Packet Switching Lans

چکیده
To meet the networking requirements of the newer high-bandwidth multimedia applications, many LAN managers are starting to adopt switches as the basis of their network architectures. However, although introducing switches makes the networks faster, they can also introduce some new problems. These are caused by the interaction of the existing end-to-end flow control in end systems with the hop-by-hop flow control that is used by switches. An example is a phenomenon known as head-of-line blocking. The paper illustrates how this can occur and, for an example topology, quantifies its effect using simulation modelling.

The Interaction of the TCP Flow Control Procedure in End Nodes on the Proposed Flow Control Mechanism for Use in IEEE 802.3 Switches
The existing Ethernet and Token Ring based networks, known as legacy LANs, are no longer able to satisfy the constantly growing demand for more bandwidth and better quality of service. However, switching technology is a solution that seems to be able to cope with further expanding requirements. Introducing switches with new flow control schemes makes the networks faster and more efficient but, ...
متن کاملThe Feedback Based Mechanism for Video Streaming Over Multipath Ad Hoc Networks
Ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. Such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. Video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. H...
متن کاملPerformance of optical burst switching techniques in multi-hop networks
In this paper, we investigate the performance of reservation mechanisms for optical burst switching (OBS) in multiple hop network environments. We first review current research on wavelength reservation schemes for OBS, and investigate the path length priority effect of existing justenough-time (JET) scheme. And then, we propose a novel hopby-hop priority increasing (HPI) scheme. The simulation...

EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access), developed for providing service differentiation in wireless LANs, has become a MAC standard in IEEE 80.2.11e. However, unexpected packet delay due to collisions and retransmissions may occur when the wireless LAN becomes congested. To support the increasing demand of delay-sensitive multimedia applications, this paper presents a modified EDCA with dyn...
متن کاملA Novel Hop-by-Hop Priority Increasing Scheme for Multi-Hop Optical Burst Switching Networks
In this paper, we investigate the path length priority effect of existing just-enough-time (JET) scheme for optical burst switching (OBS) in the multiple hop network environments. And, we propose a novel hop-by-hop priority increasing (HPI) scheme using the input fiber delay lines (FDLs) at each node. Simulation results showed that the proposed FDL/delayed reservation (DR) with HPI scheme can a...
