Abstract

In this paper we proposea method for estimating the bandwidth in next-generation If network. Especially, we concentrate on the edge routers accommodating the VoIP connections as well as a group of data connections. Bandwidth dimensioning is carried out at call level and packet level for voice traffic in the next-generation IP network. The model incorporates the statistical estimation approach at a call level for obtaining the number of voice connections simultaneously in the active mode. The call level model incorporates a statistical technique to compute the statistics of the number of active connections such as the mean and variance of the simultaneously connected calls in the network. The packet level model represents a load map for voice and data traffic by using non-preemptive M/G/1 queuing model with strict priority for voice over data buffer, From the proposed traffic model, we can derive a graph for upper bounds on the traffic load in terms of bandwidth for voice and data connections. Via numerical experiments we illustrate the implication of the work.

본고는 차세대 IP망(NGN)에서의 대역 설계 방법에 관한 것이다. 특히, VoIP 뿐만 아니라 데이터 서비스를 수용하는 에지 라우터에서의 호레벨 및 패킷 레벨 음성 트래픽 대역 설계 방법을 제시하였다. 호레벨 모델은 실제 연결되는 호의 수를 통계적으로 계산하기 위해 평균, 분산과 같은 통계적 기법을 사용하고, 패킷레벨 모델은 M/G/1 큐잉 모델을 활용하여 음성 및 데이터 트래픽의 부하를 나타내었다. 제시된 트래픽 모델을 통해서 계산된, 음성과 데이터 연결을 위한 대역폭을 기반으로 최대 트래픽 부하를 예측할 수 있고, 또한 수치 시험을 통한 이의 결과를 제시하였다.
