In this paper, we analyze previous flow control algorithm for serving ABR traffic, and then propose the algorithm which calculate fair transmission rate and control efficiently ABR traffic using VS/VD switch which has an effect on WAN environment with long delay. For getting the transmission rate, the proposed algorithm use FMMAR as ER scheme which calculate exactly the fair share. And, in large delay state. we can obtain fair cell sharing by calculating transmission rates which obtained by transmitted queue length information of VD to VS for serve and drain cell in queue Through the computer simulation, we evaluate the performance of proposed algorithm. According to the results, the proposed algorithm shows good performance.

네트워크를 설계하고 서비스를 구현하는데 있어서 중요한 변수중의 하나는 트래픽의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 트래픽 특성에 관한 최근의 실험적 연구들은 기존의 모델들이 실제 트래픽의 특성을 제대로 나타낼 수 없다는 것을 지적해 왔고 최근 실제 트래픽 모델과 유사한 모델로서 자기 유사한 특성을 이용한 접근법이 대두되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 실제 트래픽과 유사한 자기 유사 데이터 트래픽을 백그라운드 부하로 발생시켜 기존의 ABR(Available Bit Rate) 혼잡제어 알고리즘 중 fairshare을 지원하는 대표적인 EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm), ERI-CA(Explicit Rate Indication for Congestion Avoidance), NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) 스위치 알고리즘이 버스트한 트래픽에 대해 효율적으로 fairshare을 할당하는지를 알아 보았다.

To achieve high-speed communication and to improve QoS characteristics, ATM is now being used as underlying transfer mechanism of Internet protocols, or TCP/IP. When TCP uses the ABR service in ATM networks, the ABR service control is important to improve the performance of TCP/IP traffic as long as there is no interaction between ABR rate control and TCP flow control. In such environment, the interoperability of EFCI and ER switches becomes unavoidable in order to more effectively control ABR traffic in ATM network. In this paper, we use the model of mixed EFCI-ER environment and discuss the performance issues, e.g., the fairness of bandwidth allocation, drop rate, throughput by using various ER switch algorithms. Among various ERSwitch algorithms, we present one algorithm that have a less network topology and allocate the fair share of VC bandwidth by simulation results.

A general goal of the AT%(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network is to support connect across various network. On ATM networks, ABR services are provided using the remained ban after allocation CBR and VBR traffic. Realtime services such as transmitting audio or video data may be provided using CBR ado VBR which have a constrained transmission delay, but in these cases, the communications bandwidth may be wasted. In this paper a simulation has been performed to compare and evaluate the performance between the ERICA(Explicit Rate Indicate Avoidance) and EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) switches which use Explicit Rate switch algorithm for ABR switch. The variation of the ACR at the source end system, the queue length, the utilization rate of the link bandwidth and the share fairness at the transient and steady states are used as the evaluation criteria for the simulation. As a result of simulation, ERICA algorithm switch was ten times long compared to ERPCA switch to achieve assigned fair share. so EPRCA switch is superior to ERICA about load response. For Fair share and stability, ERICA switch is excellent to EPRCA switch.

In this paper, a channel access control algorithm and a slot allocation algorithm are proposed as MAC protocol for multimedia services in TDMA/TDD-based wireless ATM networks. In the proposed protocol, VBR terminals that require real-time services transmit a reservation request through a random access minislot. VBR terminals, which are successfully transmitted the reservation request, transmits the dynamic parameters through a dynamic parameter minislot without contention. On the other hand, ABR terminals transmit a reservation request with contention basis whenever a non-real-time traffic burst is generated. Based on the received dynamic parameters and the number of requested slots, the base station scheduler allocates a dynamic parameter minislot as well as uplink data slots into VBR terminals. Also the scheduler allocates uplink data slots into ABR terminals in proportion to the number of requested slots.

This paper presents a real-time integrated traffic management (RITM) scheme that can effectively manage variable bit rate (VBR) and available bit rate (ABR) traffics having unpredictable characteristics in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. An unique feature of this scheme is that it has a special ATM cell control block which makes it possible to monitor bursty traffics in real-time so that the delay incurred to measure cell arrival rate is minimized. Additionally, the proposed scheme intends to dynamically reassign the leftover network resources to VBR/ABR connections without any deterioration in quality of service (QoS) of the existing connections. The RITM scheme has been verified to reliably monitor incoming traffics and to efficiently manage network resources by computer simulations. The capability of managing the incoming ATM traffics in real-time helps determine an optimal acceptable number of user connections for a given network condition. We can use this value as a threshold to protect the network from being congested and to find out a cost-effective buffer design method.

As the proliferation of multimedia traffic over High-speed Internet increases, ATM network will be vital to adopt as backbone network over various parts of Internet. In this paper, we investigate the performance of TCP/IP traffic flow over ABR and UBR of ATM service to study for the high throughput and good fairness by simulation technique. Although TCP is run in the transport layer, it is controlled by several methods, e.g, EPD, PPD, RED, EFCI, ER etc, in ATM layer when TCP uses the ABR/UBR service. Therefore, if one cell is discarded in ATM layer, a packet of TCp will be laost. And, also, along with the increasing of the number of VC among switches, the throughput and fairness will be degraded. In order to improve these degradations, we propose the effective parameter control operations of EFCI and ER on ABR service, and also suggest the buffer management methods on UBR service. Finally, through the simulation results, the improved throughput and fairness are shown.

The ATM Forum has been focusing on flow control mechanism for ABR traffic management. The goal of this activity is to efficiently manage the leftover network bandwidth and fairly distribute it among contending ABR VC so that communication links can be optimally utilized. ABR traffic is difficult to predict traffic shape because it has bursts and variable behavior. Also it's sensitive to lose but not to delay. This behavior makes difficult to UPC function in network and cause of congestion in switch, thus performance is degraded. To resolve this problem, various flow control mechanism has been worked in the ATM Forum. Especially, the rate-based flow control mechanism for ABR traffic has been standardized in the ATM Forum, Sept. 1994. Thus, various flow control mechanism has been working which likes EFCI, ER, VS/VD. VS/VD control is superior than existed ER control because it isolate different networks from each other. In this paper, we propose an expanded VS/VD flow control algorithm and compare with existed VS/VD flow control algorithm. Simulation result shows that this algorithm improve a problem in aspect of delay and fairness.

This paper presents some studies on the Internet TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol-Internet Protocol) traffic over ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) UBR(Unspecified Bit Rate) and ABR(Available Bit Rate) classes of service. Fuzzy logic prediction has been used to improve the efficiency and fairness of traffic throughput. For TCP/IP over UBR, a novel fuzzy logic based cell dropping scheme is presented. This is referred to as fuzzy logic selective cell drop (FSCD). A key feature of the scheme is its ability to accept or drop a new incoming packet dynamically based on the predicted future buffer condition in the switch. This is achieved by using fuzzy logic prediction for the production of a drop factor. Packet dropping decision is then based on this drop factor and a predefined threshold value. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves TCP/IP efficiency and fairness. To study TCP/IP over ABR, we applied the fuzzy logic ABR service buffer management scheme from our previous work to both approximate and exact fair rate computation ER(Explicit cell Rate) switch algorithms. We then compared the performance of the fuzzy logic control with conventional schemes. Simulation results show that on zero TCP packet loss, the fuzzy logic control scheme achieves maximum efficiency and perfect fairness with a smaller buffer size. When mixed with VBR traffic, the fuzzy logic control scheme achieves higher efficiency with lower cell loss.
