Abstract:
|
Recent works on Available Bit Rate (ABR) traffic control have generated efficient control schemes for ABR traffic on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. This study examines the
improved performance envisaged if these control schemes adjust dynamically to the varying ABR
bandwidth capacity in a stochastic manner instead of conventional deterministic approach. The
performance difference between setting explicit rate deterministically for transmitting ABR sources
and doing the same stochastically using a learning automaton is of particular interest. The learning automaton used is the Stochastic Estimator Learning Automaton (SELA). The performance difference
is measured by comparing the congestion levels of the SELA-based control scheme with the reference
deterministic control mechanism. Simulation results show that the stochastic estimator gives a better
performance. The higher average congestion level experienced by the conventional deterministic
approach is mainly due to the propagation time delay in the closed-loop feedback control schemes. |
