With this radical change in mind, the ATM Forum has defined a new service class for data applications known as the available bit rate service (ABR). If ABR service has to achieve the same level of performance as the best effort service offered by current LAN technologies, then appropriate traffic control mechanisms are necessary. The ATM Forum is currently in the process of evaluating several competing traffic control schemes. In this contribution we propose a reference network model and a reference traffic model for evaluation of competing traffic control schemes. We also present detailed simulation results on the effectiveness of the back pressure (BP), backward explicit congestion notification (BECN), forward explicit congestion notification (FECN), and combination of BECN and BP, and FECN and BP controls. These results indicate that with pure BP, BECN or FECN, severe network performance degradation can occur under overload. A combination of BECN and BP or FECN and BP averts such degradation in LANs. On the other hand, BP alone or in combination leads to significant performance degradation in WANs. The performance in WANs however can be substantially improved by giving priority to network transit traffic over traffic entering the network.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

This service will have significantly different traffic characteristics than traditional narrowband (NB) calls.

The BEST project offers an object-oriented applications environment that provides multimedia multiparty end-user services such as video telephony, video conferencing, video mail, video-on-demand and video broadcasting. These end-user services request connection management services from the TRM via an application interface module that performs call/session control. The application interface and many applications are implemented in Smalltalk.

We compare two approaches for gain equalization. The two strategies are compared quantitatively by considering power budget, received signal power and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and transmission distance. Relative performance is shown as a function of the number of amplifiers and the number of channels, we also consider relative technical advantages of implementing the two equalization schemes. It is shown that as number of channels increase, depending on the number of channels transmitted, the individual equalization scheme results in a 500 km-1000 km increase in transmission distance relative to the end/end equalization scheme at the expense of a more complex and expensive implementation. The results provide an insight into the relative merits of end/end versus individual electronic equalization strategies.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

The protocol uses wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), and is highly bandwidth-efficient. Each station in the network is guaranteed a minimum bandwidth and a maximum access delay to the network, allowing the protocol to be used for both datagram and connection-oriented traffic. No central control is required, and the amount of processing required by each station is small. Time is divided in fixed-sized slots. Before transmitting its data, a station must compete with others for the right to use a slot in a preassigned wavelength, using a collision-free procedure. The protocol is suitable for networks where the number of users is larger than the number of available channels. The scheme can operate with at least a single tunable transmitter/receiver pair in each station. The paper includes plots where results obtained from simulations and from the application of models are compared.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.
