2000, 29(4): 440-444.
Abstract:
In this paper, the cell delay in ATM MUX and output-buffered ATM switch is simulated, Which adopts various packet fair queuing algorithms. The simulation results are analyzed, which show that the isolation property of SCFQ(self clocked fair queuing) is weaker than others. If a CBR group has no connection in which traffic exceeds reservation, as to the maximum cell delay and cell average delay, the difference between per_rate_grouping implementation of WF2Q+ and no_per_rate_grouping implementation of WF2Q+ is negligible. According to the results, a scheduling structure dealing with CBR. VBR. ABR and UBR is proposed, which satisfies the strict delay requirement of CBR and guarantees the throughput of VBR. ABR and UBR. The implementation complexity of the scheduler is also discussed.

Abstract:
Recent studies of the network show that the self-similar nature of the traffic has large influences on the network performance. Based on the traditional traffic models, the network performance is often over optimism. In this paper, a formula of cell loss rate of a buffer system under the self-similar traffic is proposed. A call admission control algorithm utilizing the Gaussian assumption of the traffic is given, which deals with the traditional traffic and self-similar traffic as well. Simulation results indicates that this algorithm is rather accurate and fast.
