Congestion Control for ABR Service Based on Dynamic UPC/NPC

概要

論文の詳細を見る
A novel reactive congestion control scheme based on Dynamic UPC/NPC (Usage/Network Parameter Control) in ATM networks is proposed. In this scheme, policing parameters at the UPC/NPC are dynamically modified in response to the reception of RM (Resource Management) cells. In a congested state, traffic volume submitted to the network is regulated by Dynamic UPC/NPC, while providing negotiated QoS (Quality of Service) for each ATM connection. When end-stations (or edge-entities between network segments) operate according to ER-based (Explicit Rate based) behavior, a UPC/NPC function will indicate (send) an ER value toward each Source end-station using backward RM cells. In this case, the policing parameter at the UPC/NPC should take the same value as the ER value. When end-stations (or edge-entities) operate according to EFCI-based (Explicit Forward Congestion Indication based) behavior, the modified policing parameter at the UPC/NPC point must be harmonized with the modified cell transmission rate at the source end-stations (or at the edge-entities). In order to improve the control performance for the long distance connections, backward RM cells will be generated by the NPC function (UPC function will be optional) at the egress of a congested network in response to the reception of EFCI marked cells (or forward RM cells) as a proxy destination end-station, and they will be sent back toward the UPC/NPC function at the ingress of the network. As a result, the proposed control scheme enables the network to recover from the congested state securely and provide the negotiated service quality, even if cooperation of (rate-based) flow control at each source end-station (and at edge-entities between network segments) is not expected.
