We propose a structure for implementation to provide ABR service in ATM-LAN consisting of ATM routers and ATM switches. ATM routers are constructed by installing ATM interface block with ABR capability for this purpose. The structure for EFCI, the basic function in ATM switches to support ABR service, is also proposed. Finally the testing procedure after implementation is provided to verify the conformity of the implemented systems.

As user's demands for high-speed data traffic are recently increased, ABR services are considered as one of important service requirements in ATM networks. Unfortunately, a number of existing ATM switching systems have structural drawbacks as to support ABR services because these switching systems have been developed to support realtime(rt) services such as CBR and rt-VBR services. To support ABR services in the existing ATM switching systems, new traffic control mechanisms for ABR services are required. This paper proposes a method for supporting ABR services in ATM swithcing systems without back-pressure mechanisms and evaluates the performance of the proposed method using simulation.

ABR uses the extra network resource more efficiently which uses not the guaranteed service in ATM and supports the best effort which the characteristics of application is bursty and maximum transfer rate is high. Switches for using ABR flow control differentiate EFCI switches (which supply only the congestion state information) from ER switches (which supply fair rate to source). This paper analyses the switches operation technique for efficiently managing ABR traffic in case which the network mixes EFCI switches and ER switches in ATM.

A network of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) will be required to carry the traffics(CVR, VBR, UBR, ABR) generated by a wide range of services. The traffic ABR uses the remined space of the CBR/VBR traffics bandwith. The Rate-based, the Credit-based, and the mixed method that are implementing the control loop of ABR traffic service is on study. In this paper, a new algorithm that can be considered in ATM and effectively manage ABR traffic using VS/VD method and EPRCA algorithm is proposed on the switch of the Rate-based method

본 논문에서는 무선 이동 ATM 네트워크에서 무선채널 상태를 고려하면서 가상목적지와 가상소스를 이용한 효율적인 ABR트래픽 흐름제거 기법을 제안한다. ABR서비스는 높은 우선순위를 갖는 실시간 서비스에 의해 사용되지 않는 유휴대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하는 서비스로, 셀손실에 특히 민감하다. ABR서비스는 대역폭의 효율적인 활용으로 기존ATM네트워크에서 널리 사용되고 있으며, 무선 이동ATM네트워크에서도 이러한 ABR서비스의 제공이 중요하다고 하겠다. 기존 ATM네트워크에서는 효율적인 ABR서비스를 위한 흐름제어기법으로서 RM(Resource Management)셀의 피드백을 이용한 전송율기반 폭주제어 기법을 사용하고 있으나, 이 방식을 무선네트워크에 그대로 적용했을 경우, 심각한 대역폭의 낭비를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 제안된 기법은 무선 이동네트워크에서 RM셀의 전송을 억제하고 ATM스위치에 의해 MT(Movile terminal)의 ACR을 결정하게 하여 기지국을 통해 단말기로 전송하도록 하였다. ABR트래픽은 MT에서 고정호스트로 전송된다고 가정하고 시뮬레이션을 수행하여, 그 성능을 분석하였다. 성능분석 결과, 제안된 기법은 무선네트워크의 대역폭을 낭비하지 않으면서 링크의 혼잡도를 최소화하여 채널상태에 따라 효율적으로 전송율을 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The end-to-end rate-based control mechanism is used for the flow control of the ABR service to allow much more flexibility in ATM switching system. To accommodate the ABR service effciently many algorithms such as EFCI, EPRCA, ERICA, and CAPC2 have been proposed for the switch algorithm. ABR cells and related RM cells are received at the ATM switch fabric transparently without any processing. And then cells received from the traffic source are queued in the ABR buffer of switching system. The ABR buffer usually has some thresholds for easy congestion control signal transmission. Whatever we use, therefore, these can be many ABR traffic control algorithms to implement the ABR transfer capability. The genertion of congestion indicate signal for ABR control algorithms is determined by ABR buffer satus. And ABR buffer status is determined by ABR cells transfer ratio in ATM switch fabrics. In this paper, we presented the functional structures for control of the ABR traffic capability, proposed the readout scheduling, cell slot allocation of output link and the buffer allocation model for effective ABR traffic guranteeing with considering CBR/VBR traffics in ATM switch. Since the proposed readout scheduling scheme can provide more avaliable space to ABR buffer than existing readout scheduling scheme, generation rate of a SEND signal, that is, BCN signal in destination node can be increased for ABR call connection. Therefore, the proposed scheme, in this paper, can be appropriate as algorithm for effective ABR traffic service on output link of ATM switching node.

A general goal of the ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network is to support connections across various networks. ABR service using EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) switch controls traffics in ATM network. EPRCA switch, traffic control method uses variation of the ACR(Allowed Cell Rate) to enhance the utilization of the link bandwidth. However, in ABR(Available Bit Rate) service, different treatments are offered according to different RTTs(Round Trip Times) of connections. To improve the above unfairness, this paper presents ABR DELAY mechanism, in which three reference parameters for cell delay are defined, and reflect on the messages of RM(Resource Management) cells. To evaluate our mechanism, we compare the fairness among TCP connections between ABR DELAY mechanism and ABR RRM mechanism. And also we execute simulations on a simple ATM network model where six TCP connections and a background traffic with different RTTs share the bandwidth of a bottleneck link. The simulation results, based on TCP goodput and efficiency, clearly show that ABR DELAY mechanism improves the fairness among TCP connections.

EMRCA(Explicit Max_min Rate Control Algorithm) switch, which has been proposed in the ATM(Asychronous Transfer Mode) standard, controls the ABR(Available Bit Rate) service traffic in the ATM networks. The ABR service class of ATM networks uses a feedback control mechanism to adapt to varying link capacities. The VS/VD(Virtual Source/Virtual Destination) technique offers the possibility to segment the otherwise end-to-end ABR control loop into separate loops. The improved feedback delay and the control of ABR traffic inside closed segments provide a better performance and QoS(Quality of Service) for ABR connections with respect to throughput, delay, and jitter. This paper is study of an ABR VS/VD flow control method. Linear control theory offers the means to derive correct choices of parameters and to assess performance issues, like stability of the system, during the design phase. The performance goals are a high link utilization, fair bandwidth distribution and robust operation in various environments, which are verified by discrete event simulations. The major contribution of this work is the use of linear control theory to model and design an ABR flow control method tailored for the special layout of a VS/VD switch, the simulation shows that this techniques better than conventional method.

ABR traffic form ATM LAN is controlled through RM cell, and the interface function to public ATM network is necessary to provide ABR service efficiently. This paper presnets new interface architecture, which is based on "Projected Node" [6]. using AIPU(ABR Interface Proxy Unit) to support ABR traffic streams incoming from ATM LAN in the public ATM network. For the efficient interworking, the AIPU has designed for interworking functions with ERICA switch mechanism. Conventional ERICA switch mechanism specified in TM 4.0 is basically used for short distance comparative to public network, however AIPU adopts the novel control mechanism to cover logng roud trip time (RTT). To improve the problems and to provide a dynamic range of UCI(Update Count Interval), this paper proposes, a novel control scheme, DUCI ( Dynamic Update Count Interval. And the paper shows inefficiencies of ERICA mechanism with fixed UCI through the simulation results, and represents the performance enhancement of DUCI mechanism developed to adjust the update count interval dynamically.

ATM networks with long-distance links, causing long propagation delays, may require virtual end system functions to provide ABR services. We survey several issues for implementing the control functions for ABR service in multiple VCs, required in the virtual ends, and propose a structure for implementation. In the proposed design, shared memory structure is used to control the cell emission of the multiple VCs for the ABR services in the virtual end systems.
