On Fair Rate Allocation Policies with Minimum Cell Rate Guarantee for ABR Service in ATM Networks

چکیده
A novel concept in available bit rate (ABR) service model as de ned by the ATM Forum is the minimum cell rate (MCR) support for each ABR virtual connection. In this paper, we present a fundamental study of rate allocation policies with MCR guarantee. In particular, we de ne three network bandwidth allocation policies that guarantee MCR requirements. For each policy, we present a centralized algorithm to compute rate allocation. The practical signi cance of our policies are substantiated with our further development of distributed algorithms for ABR service. The performance of our ABR algorithms are demonstrated with simulation results.

Fair 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...
متن کاملMax-Min Fair Rate Control of ABR Connections with Nonzero MCRs
Traac sources that do not have intrinsic temporal characteristics are expected to be transported over ATM networks using the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service. These sources are amenable to reactive ow control and are expected to use bandwidth left over after servicing the guaranteed QoS services (CBR and VBR). Fair allocation of the available bandwidth to competing ABR connections is based on t...
متن کاملDynamics of an Explicit Rate Allocation Algorithm for Atm Networks
In this paper we study the performance of an explicit rate allocation algorithm for ATM networks using the available bit-rate (ABR) class of service. We examine the behavior of ABR traac with simple cell sources, and demonstrate that the allocation algorithm is fair and maintains network eeciency in a variety of network conngurations. We also study the behavior of TCP/IP sources using ABR servi...
متن کاملThe Performance of TCP Over ATM ABR and UBR Services
Xiangrong CAI {[email protected]} This is a survey paper on the performance of TCP over ATM ABR and UBR services. Using throughput and fairness as our performance metrics, the effect of the following factors to the performance of TCP over ATM ABR and UBR is discussed here: (1)the switch dropping policies when overflow happens(simple discard, Tail Drop, Drop From Front, Early Packet Drop, P...
متن کاملIntelligent Traffic Management of the ABR/UBR Service for TCP/IP in Fair Rate ATM Networks
Central issue in congestion control for available bit rate service ATM networks is the comparison of the fair rate for every connection at each switching node in the network. The objective is to determine the fair rate for all the connections in a distributed network under dynamic changes in the changes in the absence of centralized knowledge about the network and without the synchronization of...
