Résumé:
Various papers discuss the impact of burstiness on
network congestion. Their conclusions are that
congested periods can be quite long with packet losses
that are heavily concentrated. Several conventional
methods have been implemented to avoid congestion,
such as traffic shaping, end-to-end feedback congestion
control systems, etc. These methods are not responsive
enough to the varying bandwidth and network delay
caused by bursty traffic. The objective of our paper is to
describe a new algorithm to avoid congestion without
the negative effects of the traditional methods. A model
developed under Compuware’s COMNET the discrete
event simulation system, illustrates the algorithm. The
model is based on real traffic collected in an ATM
network.
