Flow-Based Admission Control Algorithm in the DiffServ-Aware ATM-Based MPLS Network

Abstract

This paper proposes a flow‐based admission control algorithm through an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based Multi‐Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network for multiple service class environments of Integrated Service (IntServ) and Differentiated Service (DiffServ). We propose the Integrated Packet Scheduler to accommodate IntServ and Best Effort traffic through the DiffServ‐aware MPLS core network. The numerical results of the proposed algorithm achieve reliable delay‐bounded Quality of Service (QoS) performance and reduce the blocking probability of high priority service in the DiffServ model. We show the performance behaviors of IntServ traffic negotiated by end users when their packets are delivered through the DiffServ‐aware MPLS core network. We also show that ATM shortcut connections are well tuned with guaranteed QoS service. We validate the proposed method by numerical analysis of its performance in such areas as throughput, end‐to‐end delay and path utilization.

The Effects of Management Traffic on the Local Call Processing Performance of ATM Switches Using Queue Network Models and Jackson's Theorem

“…With the advent of ATM switching, there seems to be a convergence of the paradigms of the data communications and telecommunications industries; the latter have always emphasized management features. The efficient operation of ATM networks requires the management and control of ATM switches [1]- [3]; public ATM networks have additional management requirements [2], [4], [5]. The Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) is capable of managing all types of telecommunication networks and equipment as well as services [6], [7].…”
