A Generic Weight-Based Network Bandwidth Sharing Policy for ATM ABR

چکیده
This paper presents a novel generic weight-based network bandwidth sharing policy and an available bit rate (ABR) algorithm that achieves this policy. Our policy supports the minimum cell rate (MCR) requirement and peak cell rate (PCR) constraint of each connection and allocates network bandwidth among all connections based on a weight associated with each connection. To achieve this policy for ABR connections, we design an ABR algorithm which employs per virtual connection (VC) accounting to keep track of the state information of each VC. Our ABR algorithm is proven to provide guaranteed convergence to our generic weight-based rate allocation policy under any network configuration and any set of link distances. Simulation results show that our ABR algorithm has a fast convergence property.

متن کاملFair Network Bandwidth Allocation with Minimum Rate Guarantee and its ABR Implementations
A novel concept in available bit rate (ABR) service model as defined by the ATM Forum is the minimum cell rate (MCR) bandwidth guarantee for each connection. In this paper, we present a network bandwidth allocation policy to support each ABR connection’s MCR requirement, as well as its peak cell rate (PCR) constraint. Furthermore, we develop two explicit-rate (ER) based ABR algorithms consisten...

This paper presents a framework for network bandwidth sharing to transport rate-adaptive packet video using feedback. We show how a weight-based bandwidth sharing policy can be used to allocated network bandwidth among competing video connections and design a feedback control algorithm using the available bit rate (ABR) ow control mechanism. A novel video source rate adaptation algorithm is int...
متن کاملA parametric Linear Programming Model Describing Bandwidth Sharing Policies for ABR Traffic
We consider the fair bandwidth allocation problem of ABR calls by a Connection Admission Controller (CAC) at call setup. Its general solution is given by applying the “max-min fairness allocation policy”. Extensions of this policy take into account the Minimum Cell Rate (MCR) and the Peak Cell Rate (PCR) traffic description parameters, which are essential for ABR. These extensions are distingui...
