Providing minimum bandwidth guarantees to TCP traffic in ATM networks
Xinan Zhang, C.H. Tan · 2002
The guaranteed frame rate (GFR) was proposed by the ATM Forum as a service category to provide a minimum service guarantee to classical best effort service. We present a new buffer allocation scheme with tagging and FIFO scheduling to provide a minimum rate guarantee. The simulation results show that this scheme achieves good throughput as well as fairness requirements.
