A Survey of Protocols and Open Issues in ATM Multipoint Communication
Sonia Fahmy, Raj Jain, Shivkumar Kalyanaraman +3
Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks must define multicast capabilities in order to efficiently support numerous applications, such as video conferencing and distributed appli…
TCP Selective Acknowledgments and UBR Drop Policies to Improve ATM-UBR Performance over Terrestrial and Satellite Networks
Rohit Goyal, Raj Jain, Shivkumar Kalyanaraman +3
We study the performance of Selective Acknowledgments with TCP over the ATM-UBR service category. We examine various UBR drop policies, TCP mechanisms and network configurations to…
The ERICA Switch Algorithm for ABR Traffic Management in ATM Networks
Shivkumar Kalyanaraman, Raj Jain, Sonia Fahmy +2
We propose an explicit rate indication scheme for congestion avoidance in ATM networks. In this scheme, the network switches monitor their load on each link, determining a load fac…
Analysis and Modeling of Traffic in Modern Data Communication Networks
G. Babic, B. Vandalore, R. Jain
In performance analysis and design of communication netword modeling data traffic is important. With introduction of new applications, the characteristics of the data traffic chang…
Providing Rate Guarantees to TCP over the ATM GFR Service
Rohit Goyal, Raj Jain, Sonia Fahmy +1
The ATM Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) service is intended for best effort traffic that can benefit from minimum throughput guarantees. Edge devices connecting LANs to an ATM network…
Design Issues for providing Minimum Rate Guarantees to the ATM Unspecified Bit Rate Service
Rohit Goyal, Raj Jain, Sonia Fahmy +2
Recent enhancements have been proposed to the ATM Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) service that guarantee a minimum rate at the frame level to the UBR VCs. These enhancements have been c…
