Fair bandwidth allocations at routers protect adaptive flows from non-adaptive ones and may simplify end-to end congestion control. However, traditional fair bandwidth allocation mechanisms, like Weighted Fair Queueing and Flow Random Early Drop, maintain state, manage buffera and perform packet scheduling on a per-flow basis. These mechanisms are more complex and less scalable than simple FIFO queueing when they are used in the interi or of a high-speed network. Recently, to overcome the implementation complexity problem and address the scalability and robustness, several fair bandwidth allocation mechanisms without per-flow state in the interior routers are proposed. Core-Stateless Fair Queueing and Rainbow Fair Queuing are approximates fair queueing in the core-stateless networks. In this paper, we proposed simple Layered Fair Queueing (SLFQ), another core-stateless mechanism to approximate fair bandwidth allocation without per-flow state. SLFQ use simple layered scheme for packet labeling and has simpler packet dropping algorithm than other core-stateless fair bandwidth allocation mechanisms. We presente simulations and evaluated the performance of SLFQ in comparison to other schemes. We also discussed other are as to which SLFQ is applicable.

In the upstream link of EPON, numerous ONUs In the reverse link of the EPON network, numerous ONUs receive the privileges to use the optical medium from the scheduler of the LOT, but not through the competition with others. Therefore, it is very important to select a proper DBA algorithm to allocatethe frequency band to each ONU in an effectively and fair manner. In our preceding study, we proposed the RC-DBA algorithm that complements many problems in existing DBA algorithms. In this paper, we designed the MAC scheduler for the OLT, which the proposed algorithmwas applied to and implement it in the FPGA. In addition, in order to verify the operation of the scheduler, we developed the embedded Linux based testbed.

ATM 망의 혼잡상태를 회피하기 위하여 다양한 방법들이 제안되고 있으며, 이들 중에는 전송시스템에 존재하는 스위치의 버퍼 값에 지능형 마킹을 표시함으로서 각 전송회선에 공평한 대역폭을 할당하며 혼잡상태를 회피하는 방법이 있다 ATM Forum은 ATM 망에서 ABR 서비스의 혼잡제어를 위한 표준으로서 셀률 기반 혼잡제어기법을 적용하고 있다. EPRCA(Enhanced Proprotional Rate Control Algorithm)은 망의 상태를 항상 검사하는 것이 아니라 망의 혼잡이 발생하였을 때만 작동하기 때문에 부정확한 셀률 정보를 가질 수 있다. DMRCA(Dynamic Max Rate Control Algorithm)은 혼잡의 정도에 따라서 적절한 셀률을 부여하기 위하여 스위치에 임계값을 지정하며, 셀률은 스위치에서 제공되는 증가계수와 감소계수에 비례하여 변하게 된다. 본 논문은 DMRCA에서 혼잡제어를 위해서 적용하는 증가/감소변수의 크기 변화에 따른 공평대역할당의 수렴속도를 평가하여 최적의 변수값을 찾고자 한다.

ATM 스위치에서 입력 트래픽의 링크 이용의 불확실성과 입력 트래픽에 대한 예측 오류 등으로 인한 폭주가 발생될 가능성을 완전히 배제할 수 없기 때문에 스위치내부에서 폭주 발생을 억제할 수 있는 방법이모새되어야 한다.본 논문에서는 스위치 내부 링크의 대역 사용량을 측정하여 폭주 및 트래픽 제어를 수행하고 링크 이용률을 최대화하기 위한대역 할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 폭주가 발생한 링크에 대하여 짧은 시간 내에 폭주를 해결하고 폭주가 발생하지 않은 링크에서는 사용하고 남은 여분의 대역을 공평하게 할당함으로서 링크의 이용률을 극대화할 수 있으므로 트래픽 관리를 보다 쉽고 효율적으로 수행할 수 있다.

유무선 혼합 망에서 GFR서비스의 최소대역, 효율 및 트래픽 제어를 위한 버퍼관리 기법 등을 유무선 혼합망의 셀기반 네트워크에서 가중치를 높이는 시뮬레이션을 통해 공평성을 입증하는 연구를 한다. GFR서비스는 TCP/IP 패킷의 품질보장과 베스트 에포트 트래픽에 대한 최소의 대역폭 보장을 하며, 가용 대역폭에 대한 공평성 있는 대역할당을 지원해야 하기 때문에 버퍼관리를 통한 셀 폐기와 셀 스케줄링 둥이 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 유무선 혼합 네트워크에서 MCR을 보장하기 위하여 버퍼의 사용 가능한 영역의 활성 VC에 각 VC가중치를 비례해 할당하는 per-VC 어카운트에 기초한 트래픽 제어의 버퍼관리에 대한 유동적 WBA알고리즘을 제안하고 GFR 서비스의 효율 및 공평성을 유무선 혼합 망 셀 기반의 스위치를 이용하여 시뮬레이션으로 결과를 보인다.

Due to advance in multimedia applications and integrated Internet services, the optical access networks have been actively studied. In particular, Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) has received much attention due to high bandwidth provision with low cost. In EPON system, the data transmission is carried out in two directions: downstream (from OLT to ONU) and upstream (from ONU to OLT). The downstream data is broadcasted to every ONUs, while the upstream data is point-to-point transmitted between each ONU and OLT, where the uplink is shared by all ONUs in the form of TDMA. The bandwidth allocation algorithm is required to efficiently manage the bandwidth on the uplink. The limited algorithm was proposed to enhance the capability of dynamic bandwidth allocation. In this paper, we propose the adaptive limited algorithm to enhance the shortcomings of limited algorithm. The adaptive limited algorithm enhances the dynamics on bandwidth allocation, and at the same time controls the fairness on packet delay. Through the computer simulations, it is shown that the adaptive limited algorithm achieves high dynamic on bandwidth allocation, maintains a good fairness on packet delay between ONUs, and keeps the fairness on the bandwidth on the demand basis.

Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) has drawn many attention as a promising access network technology for FTTH because it can provide a high bandwidth with a low cost. Since the uplink bandwidth in the EPON system is shared by many users, it is necessary for an EPON system to have an efficient bandwidth allocation mechanism. To support QoS in EPON, the previous bandwidth allocation schemes employ strict priority queueing (SPQ). Since SPQ gives unlimited priority to higher service class, the QoS of lower service classes gets worse. In this paper, we propose Class Gated DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation) algorithm in which the bandwidth is requested / granted in a service class basis. To avoid the monopoly in bandwidth usage by higher classes the maximum bandwidth that is allocate to each service class is limited (fairness between services classes). In addition, to avoid the monopoly in bandwidth usage by some particular users, each ONU runs fairness bandwidth allocation algorithm within each service classes. Through computer simulations, it is verified that the proposed algorithm achieves a good level of QoS, and at the same time maintains a good level of fairness between both service classes and users.

실시간 통신 시스템은 서로 떨어져 있는 시스템간에 통신 매체를 통하여 호스트와 사용자 단말간에 통신을 수행하므로 종단간의 데이터 패킷 전달 시 보장된 응답시간 특성이 요구된다. 원격 액세스 서비스의 경우 여러 개의 채널에 대한 공평한 대역 서비스의 제공을 위해서 시스템 내부에서 각 채널에 대하여 균등하고 신속한 처리가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 통신시스템의 대역 보장과 처리속도 향상을 위하여 전형적인 시스템을 모델링하고, 다양한 타스크 우선 순위 할당 방법을 적용하여 성능을 비교한다 비 주기적인 특성을 가지는 프로세스의 우선 순위 할당은 Rate Monotonic 방법보다는 메시지 흐름에 따른 우선순위 할당 방법이 더 나은 성능을 보인다.

The Guaranteed Frame Rate(GFR) service has been designed to accomodate non-real-time applications, such as TCP/IP based traffic in ATM networks. The GFR service not only guarantees a minimum throughput at the frame level, but also supports a fair share of available resources. In this paper, we propose a cell scheduling scheme which can improve the fairness and the goodput through the traffic control in GFR service. For the evaluation of the proposed scheme, we compare the proposed scheme with the existing scheme in the fairness and the goodput. Simulation results show that proposed scheme can improve the fairness and goodput comparing with the existing buffer management scheme.

This paper proposes and analyzes a new media access control (MAC) scheduling algorithm, “Interleaved Polling with Deficit Round Robin (IPDRR)” that supports weighted fairness among ONUs in Ethernet Passive Optical Network (PON). The purpose of the proposed IPDRR algerian is not only to eliminate the unused bandwidth of upstream ONU traffic, but also to provide weighted fair sharing of upstream bandwidth among ONUs in Ethernet PON systems. Simulation results show that the IPDRR improves the utilization of upstream channel by removing the unused bandwidth and provides weighted fairness among ONUs, although the IPACT scheduling is unfair according to traffic characteristics.
