A Per-VC Global FIFO Scheduling Algorithm for Implementing the New ATM GFR Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of various GFR (Guaranteed Frame Rate) implementations has been recently studied due to the interest to provide bandwidth guarantees with a simpler implementation than ABR in ATM networks. In this paper we describe and evaluate a scheduling algorithm to provide the GFR service guarantees. The evaluation is performed by simulation using TCP connections. The proposed scheduling is compared with the Weighted Fair Queuing implementation. We study in detail the problem of providing minimum cell rate guarantees in case of cell loses with both implementations and show a possible solution which requires modifying both the TCP flow control mechanism and the buffer management.

A Performance Evaluation of Buffer Management and Scheduling for ATM- GFR Using TCP
Among the various categories of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) service, ABR (Available Bit Rate) and UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) have been introduced to support data traffic (such as TCP). GFR (Guarantee Frame Rate) is the current proposed ATM service to provide better performance for data traffic over ATM. The aim of this paper is two-folded. Firstly, we characterise the major research issues...
متن کاملProviding Rate Guarantees to TCP over the ATM GFR Service
The ATM Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) service is intended for best e ort tra c that can bene t from minimum throughput guarantees. Edge devices connecting LANs to an ATM network can use GFR to transport multiple TCP/IP connections over a single GFR VC. These devices would typically multiplex VCs into a single FIFO queue. It has been shown that in general, FIFO queuing is not su cient to provide r...
متن کاملVirtual Queueing Techniques for UBR+ Service in ATM with Fair Access and Minimum Bandwidth Guarantee
AbstTactThe ATM Forum is currently discussing the need for a new best-effort service called UBR+, which ie, an enhancement to the existing UBR service, to supporit data traffic. The objective of the UBR+ service is to provide each user with a minimum service rate guarantee and a fair access to any excess available bandwidth. In this paper, we present a new efficient scheme for supporting this s...
متن کاملThe Generic Cell Rate Algorithm ( GCRA ) 7 3 Leaky Bucket Admission Schemes
The ATM Forum has recently defined a new data service called Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) Service. This new service aims to support minimum bandwidth guarantee for a VC and allows any excess bandwidth in the network to be shared among the contending VCs in a fair manner. It was proposed that the service requirement of GFR may be supported using the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm (GCRA), or equivale...

Recently, the Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) service category has been proposed to provide bandwidth guarantees with a simpler implementation than ABR in ATM networks. In this paper, we study the performance of TCP in LAN and WAN ATM networks supporting the GFR service category. We present simulations where each TCP connection is carried by one GFR VC with a minimum guaranteed bandwidth. We consid...
