One of the most important matters in designing network and realizing service, is to grip on the traffic characteristics. Conventional traffic prediction and analysis used the models which based on the Poisson or Markovian. Recently, experimental research on the LAN, WAN and VBR traffic properties have been pointed rut that they weren't able to display actual real traffic specificities because the models based on the Poisson assumption had been underestimated the long range dependency of network traffic and self-similar peculiarities, it has been lately presented that the new approach method using self-similarity characteristics as similar as the real traffic models. Therefore, in this paper, we generated self-similar data traffic like real traffic as background load. On the existing ABR congestion control algorithm, we analyzed by classify into ACR, buffer utilization. cell drop rate, transmission throughput with the representative EFCI, ERICA, EPRCA and NIST twitch algorithm to show the efficient reaction about the burst traffic.

ATM forum defined several ATM oriented services such as ABR, VBR, CBR, UBR, and others. Among them, ABR service is considered as one of the most appropriate ones in the LAN environment. ABR controls network traffic by using RM cells according to ATM forum standard. In particular, the point-to-multipoint ABR service in general uses consolidation algorithms to solve feedback implosion at the branch point. Consolidation algorithms alleviate propagation delay and network congestion problem: thus, the efficiency of consolidation algorithm is closely related to the network performance. In this paper, we describe the limitation of existing consolidation algorithms based on thorough analysis, and then propose an algorithm that performs better than the existing algorithms. We show that the proposed algorithm improves network performance through a parametric simulation, In our simulation the performance measure is the cell rate which is controlled by exploiting the congestion depth. We also found that the proposed algorithm not only improves efficiency of network, but also eliminates the consolidation noise.

The end-to-end rate-based control mechanism is used for the flow control of the ABR service to allow much more flexibility in ATM switching system. To accommodate the ABR service effciently many algorithms such as EFCI, EPRCA, ERICA, and CAPC2 have been proposed for the switch algorithm. ABR cells and related RM cells are received at the ATM switch fabric transparently without any processing. And then cells received from the traffic source are queued in the ABR buffer of switching system. The ABR buffer usually has some thresholds for easy congestion control signal transmission. Whatever we use, therefore, these can be many ABR traffic control algorithms to implement the ABR transfer capability. The genertion of congestion indicate signal for ABR control algorithms is determined by ABR buffer satus. And ABR buffer status is determined by ABR cells transfer ratio in ATM switch fabrics. In this paper, we presented the functional structures for control of the ABR traffic capability, proposed the readout scheduling, cell slot allocation of output link and the buffer allocation model for effective ABR traffic guranteeing with considering CBR/VBR traffics in ATM switch. Since the proposed readout scheduling scheme can provide more avaliable space to ABR buffer than existing readout scheduling scheme, generation rate of a SEND signal, that is, BCN signal in destination node can be increased for ABR call connection. Therefore, the proposed scheme, in this paper, can be appropriate as algorithm for effective ABR traffic service on output link of ATM switching node.

This paper ivestigates the performance of a relative rate (RR) switch algorithm for the rate-based available bit rate (ABR) flow control in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. A RR switch may notify the network congestion status to the source by suing the congestion indication (CI) bit or no increase (NI)bit in the backward RM (BRM) cells. A RR switch can be differently implemented according to the congestion detectio and notification methods. In this paper, we propose three implementation schemes for the RR switch with different congestion detection and notification methods, and analyze the allowed cell rate (ACR) of a source and the queue length of a switch in steady state. In addition, we derive the upper and lower bounds for the maximum and minimum queue lengths for each scheme respectively, and evaluate the effects of the ABR parameter values on the queue length. Furthermore, we suggest the range of the rage increase factor (RIF) and rate decrease factor (RDF) parameter values which can prevent buffer overflow and underflow at a switch.

The EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) is one of the explicit rate control algorithm recommended by the ATM forum. EPRCA algorithm is using only two threshold to buffer change is not considered for calculating ER value. In this paper to cover the shortage, two more variables are added for considering increase of buffer quantity. So calculating proper ER would avoid before getting into the congestion situation. To analysis the affect, EPRCA and proposed algorithm are compared through simulation by analysis of change of buffer length and ACR change

One of the most important issues in designing a network and realizing a service is dealing with traffic characteristics. Recent experimental research on LAN, WAN, and VBR traffic properties has highlighted that real traffic specificities can not be displayed because the current models based on the Poisson assumption under estimate the long range dependency of network traffic and self-similar peculiarities. Therefore, a new approach using self-similarity characteristics as a real traffic model was recently developed. In This paper we discusses the definition of self-similarity traffic. Moreover, real traffic was collected and we generated self-similar data traffic like real traffic to background load. On the existing ABR congestion control algorithm transmission throughput with the representative ERICA, EPRCA and NIST switch algorithm show the efficient reaction about the burst traffic.

In ATM networks CBR data traffic is sent in constant bit rate, and VBR data traffic in variable bit rate. Therefore unused bandwidth at network capacity may exist. To avoid waste of network resourcesm, ABR traffic utilizes the unused bandwidth to the utmost after CBR and VBR data traffic being first served. In this paper, a transfer rate-based congestion control algorithm is proposed for efficient ABR service in ATM networks. In the proposed algorithm the ATM switch first calculates bandwidth according to variable cell transfer rate in an ABR source. records this value in ER field in a RM cell, and then transmits a RM Cell to an ABR source. In this way the proposed algorithm dynamically allocates bandwidth to each ABR source, and the switch also can rapidly adapt to a change of a transfer rate of an source. The performance simulation of the proposed algorithm has batter performance in terms of source condition and link utilization.

네트워크를 설계하고 서비스를 구현하는데 있어서 중요한 변수중의 하나는 트래픽의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 트래픽 특성에 관한 최근의 실험적 연구들은 기존의 모델들이 실제 트래픽의 특성을 제대로 나타낼 수 없다는 것을 지적해 왔고 최근 실제 트래픽 모델과 유사한 모델로서 자기 유사한 특성을 이용한 접근법이 대두되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 실제 트래픽과 유사한 자기 유사 데이터 트래픽을 백그라운드 부하로 발생시켜 기존의 ABR(Available Bit Rate) 혼잡제어 알고리즘 중 fairshare을 지원하는 대표적인 EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm), ERI-CA(Explicit Rate Indication for Congestion Avoidance), NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) 스위치 알고리즘이 버스트한 트래픽에 대해 효율적으로 fairshare을 할당하는지를 알아 보았다.

A new ER feedback switch control algorithm, called EMRCA(Explicit Max-min Rate Control Algorithm), to control the ABR services traffic in the ATM networks, is proposed in this thesis. This scheme was interpreted the ACR variation residing on between a transient state and a stable state using the two thresholds that is the $TH_{high}$ and $TH_{low}$ in the queue to detect switch nodes congestion, and decreased the difference of minimum and maximum ACR all active connection to enhance the line bandwidth utilization. The proiposed scheme used a minimum and maximum rate of all active connections to select the connection whose the congestion rate inveoked, and uses a congestion detection mechanixm to prevent some potential cogestion by regulating selected contection.s The EMRCA scheme showed ACR variation more stable that the EPRCA scheme, also reduced buffer size of the switch, and achieved higher link utilization than the EPRCA scheme.
