    摘要: A control method and architecture is described for an ATM network carrying connectionless data traffic. The method is capable of integrating connection-oriented as well as connectionless traffic. The method takes advantage of the quasi-deterministic nature of the traffic emanating from a source that is being shaped by the leaky bucket shaping algorithm. Alternative methods are provided if such a shaping algorithm is not provided by the CPE which methods still guarantee performance that equals or exceeds shared media networks such as FDDI. Hardware and software embodiments of the methods are disclosed. The invention is particularly applicable to LANs and hubs.

    摘要: Where links between a port module and plural switch fabric slices are of various lengths, a cell is transmitted from the port module to a switch fabric slice in response to a grant. The transmission is delayed by an amount based on a link round trip delay (RTD) value for the corresponding link between the port module and the switch fabric slice, and a predetermined global delay value. As a result of this delay, the cell arrives at the switch fabric slice at a fixed number of cell times (equal to the global delay value) after issuance of the grant, independent of any link lengths.

    摘要: A Dynamic Rate Control (DRC) scheduler for scheduling cells for service in a generic Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch is disclosed. According to the inventive DRC, each traffic stream associated with an internal switch queue is rate-shaped according to a rate which consists of a minimum guaranteed rate and a dynamic component computed based on congestion information within the switch. While achieving high utilization, DRC guarantees a minimum throughput for each stream and fairly distributes unused bandwidth. The distribution of unused bandwidth in DRC can be assigned flexibly, i.e., the unused bandwidth need not be shared in proportion to the minimum throughput guarantees, as in weighted fair share schedulers. Moreover, an effective closed-loop QoS control can be built into DRC by dynamically updating a set of weights based on observed QoS. Another salient feature of DRC is its ability to control congestion internal congestion at bottleneck points within a multistage switch. DRC can also be extended beyond the local switch in a hop-by-hop fashion.

    摘要: A buffer management scheme for an ATM switch where the static and dynamic thresholds are applied appropriately at different levels to ensure efficient and fair usage of buffer memory. A novel dynamic threshold mechanism which, while ensuring fair sharing of memory, maximizes the overall memory utilization. An ATM switch using a dynamic queue threshold scheme, said ATM switch comprising K output port queues and a buffer of B cells sharing said K output port queues, wherein a common threshold is dynamically set for the K output port queues, the common threshold being changed to a new value from an old value when a new cell arrives at any of said K output queues, said new value being a maximum of a length of said any of said K output queues plus one and said old value when total queue length is less than a preset value times B and, said new value being a maximum of a said old value minus one and a statically set minimum buffer threshold when total queue length is greater than or equal to a preset value times B, wherein said preset value is greater than or equal to 0.

    摘要: A multi-class connection admission control (CAC) method that supports cell loss and delay requirements. In this model-based CAC, the source traffic is described in terms of the usage parameter control (UPC) parameters. Through analysis and approximations, simple closed-form methods to calculate the bandwidth required to meet guarantees on quality of service (QoS) are used. In addition to being robust, the CAC achieves a high level of resource utilization and can be easily implemented for real-time admission control.

    摘要: To control congestion in packet switching networks, control of the traffic sent by a given station to each of the downstream nodes to which it is directly connected is effected by control of the traffic that the upstream nodes to which it is directly connected are permitted to send to it. In this regard, a predictive model is used to predict the cross traffic, one round trip delay in advance that the given station can expect. The parameters for the predictive model are obtained by measurements in real time and by the use of moving averages. Using the predicted cross traffic, the amount of controlled traffic that the proximate downstream nodes can accommodate from the given node, and the correct state of the given node, the state of the given node one round trip delay into the future is predicted. This prediction is used to schedule the amount of traffic to be sent by each of its proximate upstream nodes.
