Improving goodputs of IP packets under ATM UBR traffic with port-based queueing schemes
ATM networks are widely adopted as backbone networks. TCP/IP are the most popular protocols today and it is quite possible that packets are forwarded by ATM networks. In ATM networks, UBR service and ABR service are common in transmitting IP packets. Because TCP has its own flow control mechanism, the flow control of ABR service could become redundant. Moreover, it could interfere with the TCP flow control. In this paper, we will focus on buffer management schemes of ATM switches with UBR service. Researchers have proposed several buffer management schemes for UBR service. However, all schemes do not consider the influence of output rates. In addition, most researchers assume that each port has its own buffers. A basic scheme called dedicated buffers per port is compared with four proposed schemes. The paper considers the situation that switch buffers are shared among all output ports and proposes a scheme called shared buffers among all ports. Then, two schemes, dedicated buffers wit...
