ATM ABR service controls network traffic using feedback information on the network congestion situation in order to guarantee the demanded service qualities and the available cell rates. In this paper we apply the control method using queue length prediction to the formation of feedback information for more efficient ABR traffic control. If backward node receive the longer delayed feedback information on the impending congestion, the switch can be already congested from the uncontrolled arriving traffic and the fluctuation of queue length can be inefficiently high in the continuing time intervals. The feedback control method proposed in this paper predicts the queue length in the switch using the slope of queue length prediction function and queue length changes in time-series. The predicted congestion information is backward to the node. NLMS and neural network are used as the predictive control functions, and they are compared from performance on the queue length prediction. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed method compared to the feedback control method without the prediction. Therefore, we conclude that the efficient congestion and stability of the queue length controls are possible using the prediction scheme that can resolve the problems caused from the longer delays of the feedback information.

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

In high speed communication networks, the determination of a transmission rate is critical for the stability of a closed-loop network system with the congestion control scheme. In ATM networks, the available bit rate (ABR) service is based on a feedback mechanism, i.e., the network status is transferred to the ABR source by a resource management (RM) cell. RM cells contain the traffic information of the downstream nodes for the traffic rate control. However, the traffic status of the downstream nodes can not be directly transferred to the source node in the IP based networks. In this paper, a new rate-based congestion control scheme using an exponential weighted moving average algorithm is proposed to build an efficient feedback control law for congestion avoidance in high speed communication networks. The proposed congestion control scheme assures the stability of switch buffers and higher link utilization of the network. Moreover, we note that the proposed congestion scheme can flexibly work along with the increasing number of input sources in the network, which results in an improved scalability.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ATM Forum has defined a new service class for data applications called Available Bit Rate(ABR) Service, which has highly bursty traffic and unpredictable burst size. It is desirable that we reduce the probability of retrans mission of packets by minimizing the loss of cells because the traffic is much more sensitive to loss than delay. The Forum has also selected the Rate-Based Control for the ABR service and proposed EPRCA as the control mechanism for the service. This paper proposes the combination of EPRCA and the other feedb ack control mechanisms such as BECN and BP. The combined control mechanism control ABR traffic more efficiently and the simulation results show that the network performance can be improved by choosing the appropriate parameters.

The ABR service class provides feedback based traffic control to transport bursty data traffic efficiently. Feedback based congestion control has first been studied to be applied to unicast connections. Recently. several congestion control algorithms for multicast connections have also been proposed as the number of ABR applications requiring multicast increases. With feedback based congestion control, the effectiveness of a traffic control scheme diminishes as propagation delay increases. Especially for a multicast connection, a remote destination may suffer unfair service compared to a local destination due to the delayed feedback. Amelioration of the disadvantages caused by feedback delay is therefore more important for remote destinations in multicast connections. This paper proposes a new switch behavior to provide effective feedback based mathc control for rentoh destinations. The proposed switches adjust the service rate dynamically in accordance woth the state of the downstream, that is, the congestion of the destinaion is immediately controlled by the nearest apstream switch before the source to ramp down the transmission rate of the connection. The proposed switch has an implementation overhead to have a separate buffer for each VC to adjust the service rate in accordance with a backward Rm cell of each VC. The buffer requirement id also increased at intermediate switches. Simulation results show that the proposed switch reduces the cell loss rate in both the local and the remote destinations and slso amelioratd the between the two destinations.
