Simulation Analysis of Point-to-Multipoint ABR Service with Fair Intelligent Congestion Control in ATM Networks

摘要

Support for Multipoint-to-Multipoint connections is an important issue for ATM networks. In our previous study, we have proposed a Fair Intelligent Congestion Control (FICC) for ABR Point-to-Point traffic and applied FICC to bandwidth allocation and congestion control in a Multipoint-to-Point connection for heterogeneous service with different data rates. In this paper we propose to apply FICC to Point-to-Multipoint connection for ABR service in ATM networks. The simulation results show that FICC is simple, robust, efficient, scalable and fair relative to other proposed congestion control algorithms and performs extremely well in Point-to-Multipoint connections for ABR service over ATM network.
