Abstract
This paper deals with the performance analysis of the Virtual Source / Virtual Destination (vs/vd) technique for abr flow control. The vs/vd mechanism allows the segmentation of the abr end-to-end feedback loop. We will investigate the behaviour and performance of classical Explicit Rate switch algorithms in conjunction with vs/vd and will give recommendations for improvements and alterations. The analysis is based on simulations of different network topologies and traffic scenarios.
Résumé
L’article évalue la technique des sources et destinations virtuelles appliquée à la commande de flux pour un trafic à débit binaire disponible. Ce mécanisme permet de segmenter la boucle de rétroaction de bout en bout. On étudie le comportement et les performances des algorithmes classiques de commutation à débit explicite associés à la technique vs/vd. Des recommandations d’amélioration et de modification s’en déduisent. L’analyse est fondée sur des simulations pour différentes topologies de réseau et différents scénarios de trafic.
