With the advances in other areas of packet processing, the verification and regeneration of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes of the data link layer is likely to become a bottleneck in the near future. In this paper, we present a mechanism to defer CRC verification without compromising reliability. This opens the possibility of incremental updates of the CRC. We introduce a new high-speed technique and present efficient implementations, speeding up CRC processing by a factor of 15. Although the paper and analysis focuses on IP over ATM, the scheme applies to a much wider set of network protocols.","PeriodicalId":308964,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE Cat.

Extending the concept of the SONET self-healing ring in the mesh topology by using multiple rings to cover a mesh is inefficient in network resource usage. Mesh-based schemes can yield an optimal solution in network resource usage, but entails complicated switch reconfigurations when network element fails. In addition, mesh optimization needs traffic demands as input, therefore is not applicable to dynamic traffic. We introduce a novel mesh WDM network protection scheme-Hamiltonian cycle protection (HCP)-that is simple, efficient and applicable to dynamic traffic. HCP performs traffic grooming in spare resource space by consolidating spare capacity into as few links as possible, thus minimizing the number of spare switch ports and reducing spare link capacity. HCP can simplify the network recovery process by minimizing the number of nodes involved in switch reconfigurations and enabling the switch reconfiguration to be performed at coarse granularity.","PeriodicalId":308964,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE Cat.

The rate controller supports multiple priorities, and dual leaky bucket (GCRA) traffic descriptors (such as VBR). While regulating each stream independently, our rate controller requires relatively modest computation bandwidth so that it can be implemented without any additional special-purpose hardware. The memory space requirement under reasonable circumstances is close to the most space-efficient schemes. It also enjoys the important advantage of being decoupled from the link scheduler. We analyze the outgoing traffic characteristics of our shaper with combination of strict priority and WFQ link scheduler, and find the optimal shaping parameters so as to maintain conformance at downstream switches. We study the best ways to allocate resources to rate controllers along the path of connection, and demonstrate the effectiveness of aggressive and light shaping in a multiple stage network under various network loads.","PeriodicalId":308964,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE Cat.

Studies of the AF PHB showed that there are a number of factors that affect fair bandwidth distribution for traffic flows with equal target rates. These factors cause unfair distribution of excess bandwidth in an over provisioned network as well as unfair degradation in an under provisioned network. One of the key factors identified is the effect of congestion non-responsive flows such as UDP when they share the same AF class with TCP flows. We investigate the effect of separating TCP and UDP flows into two AF classes of fair bandwidth distribution. The study shows that decoupling TCP and UDP flows in two AF classes controls distribution of bandwidth resources better than in the case when TCP and UDP flows share the same AF class. Moreover, an active queue management (AQM) technique that is used to realize the multiple levels of drop precedences required in the AF PHB becomes simpler for implementation. Isolation of TCP and UDP flows in router queues allows better control of the AF PHB, and therefore, better control of an overall end-to-end quality of AF service.","PeriodicalId":308964,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE Cat.

To date, numerous algorithms for packet scheduling have been suggested and tested. However, only a few of them are currently deployed. One of the key reasons for rarity of applied packet scheduling methods lies in the complexity of their implementation. This paper describes a family of randomized algorithms for packet scheduling. These algorithms are simple to implement and require small amounts of computation time. Specifically we present an O(1) probabilistic weighted fair queuing algorithm that emits packets from flows with an improved delay jitter. Experimental results of the proposed randomized algorithms suggest that the randomized approach is a viable alternative to the currently deployed deterministic fair queuing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":308964,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE Cat.

First we focus on the effect of the maintenance of the link metrics for connections with different holding times. We found that by using a differentiated routing scheme with respect to connection holding times, one can enhance network performance for a range of traffic loads. Second we propose a selective routing control scheme which determines whether to accept a shortest path routing decision based on user demands in the (source, destination, bandwidth request) tuple. Simulations were conducted to exhibit the effectiveness of such a routing algorithm. Finally, realizing the difference in routing \"local\" versus \"transit\" traffic, we present a novel approach to aggregate network state by drawing on an analogy to circuit theory. The proposed \"effective capacity\" abstraction is not only efficient in terms of the signaling savings, but also maintains a compatible routing metric to represent aggregated and local states.","PeriodicalId":308964,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE Cat.

QoS routing needs link state updating algorithms for acquiring accurate link state information (e.g., available link bandwidth) to compute routes. However, an unsuitable link state updating also brings excess computation and communication cost so that seriously degrades the performance of QoS routing. In this paper, we present four link state update algorithms for QoS routing in an Intranet, i.e., period based, threshold based, equal class based, and unequal class based updating. By doing extensive simulations, we investigate and compare their impact on the performance and cost of on-demand QoS routing in an intranet. Our simulation results prove that QoS routing can achieve both high performance and low cost under the careful selection of link state updating algorithms and their parameters.","PeriodicalId":308964,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (IEEE Cat.
