“…To overcome this serious drawback, the ATM Forum has proposed a proportional rate control algorithm (PCRA), where a source increases its transmission cell rate only at the reception of an explicit notifIcation, indicating no congestion in the network [7,8]. Otherwise, the source gradually reduces its cell rate until the minimum allowed value is reached.…”

The broadband integrated services digital networks are based on the ATM technology. As these networks will be deployed gradually, the existing high-speed data services, as Frame Relay and SMDS, will continue to exist and, for interoperability purposes, they will also be supported by the ATM networks. Moreover, ATM networks allows to efficiently support a new service, called available bit rate (ABR) service in the A TM Forum, which requires no bandwidth reservation. When this service is requested, data are transmitted through the network with low priority, being the available network resources shaped dynamically among all the active sources. In this paper, we first discuss how to manage FR and SMDS services in the ATM networks, and report the performance evaluation of the proposed interconnection scenarios; then, we present some preliminary simulation results on the ABR service, whose implementation needs a sophisticated reactive congestion control to obtain an acceptable quality of service.

“…The credit-based scheme, which is similar to window flow control, has been analyzed in [24]. However, finally the rate-based mechanism has been approved [6]. This has resulted in a flurry of research activity on this problem.…”

“…However, to provide a certain upper bound on the probability of packet loss, the network may require such a source to flow-control its traffic. The two main proposals discussed at the forum for flow-control for this service were rate-based and credit-based flow control [6]. The credit-based scheme, which is similar to window flow control, has been analyzed in [24].…”

“…We will also consider a variation of this system which will make our model close to the Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm (EPRCA) [6]. For this system, instead of sending the packets as a Poisson process with rate ,~,,, the ABR source sends packets at regular intervals of time 1/)~n-Also, instead of sending feedback at intervals of length T, the feedback is sent after every N (a constant) packets of the ABR source have been sent.…”

We have been investigating an end system architecture to support networking with quality of service guarantees. For user level protocol code in our architecture to access the network, we have designed a kernel᎐user interface. The interface targets three areas for improvement: reduced copying, reduced reliance on explicit kernel᎐user interactions, and provision of rate-based flow control. In this paper, we present the concept of input᎐output efficient buffers for reduced copying, the concept of fast system calls for low-latency network access, and the concept of kernel threads for flow control. Also included is a concept called direct media streaming which is suitable for applications that require limited user processing of media data. These concepts have been implemented as Ž . an extension to SunOS 5.3 the operating system component of Solaris 2.3 . We report some experimental results on the performance of our current system.
