Atm call admission using generalized peakedness

摘要

To protect network integrity, call acmission control (CAC) is imperative in ATM networks. A good description of the source traffic parameters is imperative to effective CAC. Effective bandwidth has been proposed as a viable CAC approach. The present work describes a peakedness approach for determining the effective bandwidth for CAC, and compares its performance with that of the fluid flow approach. Numerical results are presented to assess the goodness of the peakedness approach.
