A Study on the Adaptive Erasure Node Algorithm for the DQDB Metropolitan Area Network

DQDB MAN을 위한 적응 소거노드 알고리듬에 관한 연구

In DQDB networks, the bandwidth can be increased considerably be using the EN(Erasure Node) algorithms and DR(Destination Release) algorithms. However, the important issue in implementing them is using method of extra capacity fairly. To improve it, this paper proposes AEN(Adaptive Erasure Node) algorithm which erasure function is activated by network traffic load. Its functional architecture consists of SESM, RCSM, LMSM in addition to the basic DQDB state machines (DQSM, RQM). The SESM and RCSM state machines are placed in front of the DQSM and RQM state machines in order for the node to take advantage of the newly cleared slots. This paper also presents some simulation results showing the effect of AEN algorithm on access delay, throughput and segment erasing ratio in the single and multiple priority networks. The results show that the AEN algorithm offer the better performance characteristics than existing algorithms under overload conditions.
