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

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 con guration 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...

متن کاملA Survey of the Use-It-Or-Lose-It Policies for the ABR Service in ATM Networks
The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The ABR service uses a closed-loop rate-based traac management framework where the network divides available bandwidth among contending sources. The ATM Forum then worked on incorporating open-loop control capabilities to make the ABR service robust to temporary network fa...
