Design and simulation of ATM-ABR end system congestion control
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a simulation model for the ATM ABR service, and use it to engineer ABR congestion control behavior. Although significant work has been performed on ABR rate allocation algorithms at network switches, little work has focused on the end system behavior, which we examine in this paper. The effect of the speed of links on the path from the source to the destination, and the connection round trip time on the selection of ABR parameter values is studied. Simulation results illustrate the impact of the key parameters that control rate reduction in the absence of network feedback on performance, in terms of connection throughputs, queue lengths at the switches and link utilizations. These results have been incorporated into the ABR standards, and can be generalized to cooperative congestion control with explicit congestion notification (ECN) in the Internet. Keywords— traffic management, congestion control, simulation models, ATM networks, available bit rate (ABR) service, ABR end system, ABR parameter tuning

Acknowledgment Bucket Scheme for Regulating TCP Flow over ATM
The available bit rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data traac over ATM networks and provide end-to-end congestion control at the ATM layer. However, as most data applications today are only connected to ATM via legacy networks, simulation results in past ATM Forum contributions suggest that ABR may still cause congestion at network edges and cannot provide adequate ow control on...

Rate based congestion control promises effective traffic management for ABR service class suitable to data communications in ATM networks. The rate based congestion control algorithm dynamically regulates transmission rate of source end system according to feedback information from the network. In this paper, we described two rate based congestion control algorithms, Explicit Forward Congestion...

This paper illustrates the application of statisticallearning control results for the design of an Available Bit Rate (ABR) congestion control algorithm. The proposed methodology allows us to take into account the nonlinearities of the model and the uncertainty of the parameters in the design phase. Some simulation results are shown.
متن کاملAn agent based congestion control and notification scheme for TCP over ABR
̋ We overview in this paper the enhancement of TCP’s congestion control mechanisms using Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) over ATM networks. Congestion is indicated by not only packet losses as is currently the case but an agent implemented at the network’s edge as well. The agent bridges the gap between the ATM layer and the TCP layer in the protocol stack at the receiver end and coordina...
