Abstract

This paper proposed a collision avoidance scheme to improve the network performance and priority control scheme to support real-time ATM applications in CIF(Cells in Frames), which carries ATM cells over existing Ethernet interfaces. The proposed scheme has optimized for the two nodes Ethernet, that is a typical CIF network, and doesn't require any hardware modification of existing Ethernet interface card. The collision avoidance scheme gives fair access opprtunities with minimized contention to the nodes by assigning different inter-frame gap to each element of CIF network. The priority control scheme guarantees preemptive transmission of real-time frames to the medium by exchanging queuing status information between two nodes. Therefore in this paper it is shown that CIF network which has both the collision avoidance scheme of MAC layer and the priority control scheme of CIF layer has a improved network performance and supports real-time ATM applications efficiently.

본 논문은 기존의 이더넷 인터페이스를 통하여 ATM 셀을 전송하는 CIF(Cells in Frames)에서 네트워크 성능을 향상시키기 위한 충돌 회피(collision avoidance) 방안과 실시간 ATM 응용을 지원하기 위한 우선 제어 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방안은 전형적인 CIF 네트워크인 두개 노드를 가진 이더넷에 적합하며, 기존 이더넷 인터페이스 카드에 대한 어떠한 하드웨어적인 수정을 필요로 하지 않는다. 충돌 회피 방안은 CIF 각 요소에 서로 다른 프레임간 간격(inter-frame gap)을 할당함으로써 출동을 최소화하면서 그 노드들로 공평한 액세스 기회를 제공한다. 우선 제어 방안은 두 노드간 큐잉 상태 정보를 교환하므로 써 매체로 실시간 프레임을 우선적으로 전송하는 것을 보장해준다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 MAC 계층의 충돌 회피 방안과 CIF 계층의 우선 제어 방안을 모두 갖춘 CIF 네트워크가 향상된 네트워크 성능을 가지며 실 시간 ATM 응용을 효율적으로 지원한다는 것을 보여준다.
