Traffic Management for High-Speed Networks
Abstract
Why New Control Methods are Needed
- RAPID INCREASE IN NETWORK SPEEDS
- NETWORK CONGESTION PROBLEM
- INADEQUACY OF BRUTE-FORCE APPROACH TO PROVIDING LARGE BUFFERS
Use of Flow Control
- CONTROL OF CONGESTION FOR ATM NETWORKS
- TECHNICAL GOALS OF FLOW CONTROL FOR SUPPORTING ATM ABR SERVICES
- TWO TRAFFIC MODELS
- A FLOOD CONTROL PRINCIPLE
Credit-Based Flow Control
- CREDIT UPDATE PROTOCOL
- STATIC VS. ADAPTIVE CREDIT CONTROL
- ADAPTIVE BUFFER ALLOCATION
- RECEIVER-ORIENTED ADAPTIVE BUFFER ALLOCATION
- RATIONALE FOR CREDIT-BASED FLOW CONTROL
  - Overallocation of Resources to Achieve High Efficiency
  - Link-By-Link Flow Control to Increase Quality of Control
  - Per-VC Queueing to Achieve a High Degree of Fairness
  - Rate-Based Flow Control
CreditNet ATM SWITCH
- EXPERIMENTAL NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS
- MEASURED PERFORMANCE ON CREDITNET EXPERIMENTAL SWITCHES
