A fuzzy logic approach to buffer control in ATM networks.

摘要

In this thesis we develop a fuzzy buffer controller (FBC) for buffer management in asynchronized transfer mode (ATM) switches. Our fuzzy controller is designed to minimize cell loss, while complying with ATM quality of service guarantees. A genetic algorithm scheme is designed to define critical components of our FBC. Two genetic algorithm approaches are tested for specifying membership functions and fuzzy control rules. We construct an experimental network and tests to evaluate the performance of our fuzzy buffer controller vis-a-vis two previously studied techniques under varying potential ATM network conditions.
