The evaluated protocol can utilize the bandwidth of networks efficiently and reduces the implementation complexities that constrain other related protocols such as SRR. The protocol allows every node to inspect the usage status of all channels. According to these status, a node can select an appropriate channel for transmitting packets from among the free channels through appropriate selection schemes. The evaluated network architecture is similar to HORNET. This study also proposes and evaluates two selection schemes. In addition, to resolve the fairness problem frequently encountered in ring-type networks, a fairness mechanism based on the multi-metaring protocol is used to provide fair access to the network between nodes. Simulation results demonstrate that the evaluated protocol with the proposed selection scheme can achieve nearly optimal channel utilization under balanced traffic. Moreover, the incorporation of the fairness mechanism also reveals excellent throughput.","PeriodicalId":178842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

ABR service is specified as the rate-based feedback mechanism for congestion control and provides a control signal to throttled sources from a bottleneck node in order to adjust the throttled source rates based on available capacity. Our main purposes are as follows: (1) to design a state feedback controller; (2) to place the closed-loop poles in any desired regions based on a pole placement constraint; (3) to use the LMI (linear matrix inequalities) approach for finding the optimal state feedback gain K. The simulation results show that, under pole placement and LMI approaches, our state feedback congestion controller for ABR traffic in ATM networks can possibly guarantee the system stability, provide no buffer overflow, determine the optimal source traffic rates and place the closed-loop poles in any desired regions as well.","PeriodicalId":178842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Many of these applications require quality of service (QoS) guarantees. In the literature, not much work is found to provide QoS guarantees based on fault tolerance. Reliability of network links is considered as one of the parameters when providing QoS guarantees to applications. Considering reliability of network links as a parameter for QoS guarantees gives the applications more flexibility in choosing the network resources. A new terminology for dispersity routing is presented which will be useful in providing QoS guarantees based on reliability. Dispersity routing transmits the traffic along multiple paths. Also, a reliable backup resource allocation method is presented that can be used in the context of dispersity routing for fault tolerant real-time networks. An assumption is made that higher capacity is assigned to the links which are more reliable. This will help in availability of resources for a longer period of time. Also, reliability of links is considered to compute multiple paths along with shortest path metric.","PeriodicalId":178842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

No longer is best effort delivery with no service guarantee acceptable for many applications. IP traffic requires a degree of engineering into service classes (Differentiated Services) as well as a break from traditional layer 3-based routing. Although access to virtually unlimited bandwidth via WDM and photonic networks may potentially offer a solution to the QoS issue, access to such services is not universally available. Label switching offers an efficient mechanism to implement IP traffic engineering, Differentiated Services, multi-service functionality and scalability. This paper examines a number of service classifications and solutions which aim to provide realistic QoS solutions. These include important traffic engineering methodologies such as Integrated and Differentiated Services, multi-layer switching, MPLS and constraint-based routing.","PeriodicalId":178842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The memory consumption in an individual physical multicast membership server (PMMS) reduces significantly by using the hierarchical distributed membership management architecture.

The latter metric suggests the delivered quality of the MPEG2 video traffic at the receiver side. Using these metrics, we evaluate the performance using the best and the worst RED configurations determined in our previous work. We use TFRCP, an equation-based TCP-friendly protocol for transporting the MPEG2 video traffic against the competing TCP Sack sources. Our results shows that under the best RED configuration, the TCP-friendly protocol is capable of preserving the friendliness behavior while delivering high-quality video.","PeriodicalId":178842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Upon the receipt of a QoS packet, the source use the delay and the bandwidth contained in the QoS packet to adjusts its sending rate. The protocol is well suited for real-time rate-adaptive video streams. The primary goal is to be easy to implement and provide an efficient application layer QoS control.
