Performance Analysis of QoS Mechanism Using DiffServ in IPOA Networks

IPOA 망에서 DiffServ를 이용한 QoS 메커니즘의 성능분석

ATM is the switching and multiplexing technology chosen by the ITU-T for the operation of B-lSDN. Basically, ATM technology is designed to combine the reliability of circuit switching with the efficiency and flexibility of packet switching technology. For servicing QoS in IPOA(IP over ATM) when the larger effort is given, it will be the good method that the original QoS benefits having ATM switching have in ATM layer underlying layer. The IETF has recently proposed Differentiated Services framework for provision of QoS. In this paper we analyse performance of two Diffserv mechanism. Threshold Dropping and Priority Scheduling. Threshold Dropping and Priority Scheduling can be regarded as basic mechanisms from which the other mechanisms have been derived. Hence comparative performance of these two mechanisms in providing required QoS is an important issue. In this Paper we carry out a performance comparison of the TD and PS mechanisms with the aim of providing the same level of packet loss to the preferred flow. Our comparison of the TD and PS allows us to determine resultant packet loss for the non-preferred flows as a function of various parameters of the two mechanisms.
