On the performance of bandwidth allocation strategies for interconnecting ATM and connectionless networks
Edward Chan, Victor C. S. Lee, Jim Mee Ng · ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review · 1996
Using ATM networks as the switching fabric for interconnecting LANs and MANs means that a strategy for bandwidth allocation must be developed to map connectionless traffic in the LAN/MAN to the ATM network which is essentially connection-oriented. This paper presents a bandwidth allocation algorithm based on bandwidth advertising and burst drop when overflow occurs. The performance is evaluated by simulation and shown to reduce Burst Loss Rate significantly.
