Source Behavior for ATM ABR Traffic Management: An Explanation
The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data
applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. The network
continuously monitors its traffic and provides feedback to the source end
systems. This paper explains the rules that the sources have to follow to
achieve a fair and efficient allocation of network resources.Comment: IEEE Communications Magazine, November 1, 1996, vol 34, no11, pp50-5
Performance and Buffering Requirements of Internet Protocols over ATM ABR and UBR Services
The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks are quickly being adopted as
backbones over various parts of the Internet. This paper analyzes the
performance of TCP/IP protocols over ATM network's Available Bit Rate (ABR) and
Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) services. It is shown that ABR pushes congestion to
the edges of the ATM network while UBR leaves it inside the ATM portion.Comment: IEEE Communications Magazine, Vol 36, no 6, pp152-15
