FECCA-a new access algorithm for an ATM ring network with destination removal
Izhak Rubin, H.-T. Wu · 2002
The authors propose and study a protocol for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, called the fair and efficient cyclic control algorithm (FECCA), which combines the advantages of both global and local fairness schemes, to achieve a fair access mechanism while yielding high network throughput levels for a full-duplex ring network with spatial reuse. In addition, through the use of queuing models and analytical approximations, they present an analytical method for evaluating the network throughput performance for a special network topology. The analytical performance results are shown to be close to those obtained by simulations.>
