Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a plurality of connection types are defined for connections via which information is transmitted according to an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM).
- ATM asynchronous transfer mode
- connections with which information is transmitted at a constant bit rate (CBR) are distinguished from connections over which information is transmitted with a variable bit rate (VBR).
- connection includes connections by means of which information is transmitted at a variable bit rate (Variable Bit Rate, ABR). These are connections via which low-priority information is transmitted between a transmitting device and a receiving device.
- ABR Variable Bit Rate
- control cells are inserted into the stream emanating from the transmitting device from a connection associated ATM cells in a time grid. This is usually the case for every 32th ATM cell.
- the ATM cells are now fed together with the control cells to the receiving device in question. This takes the ATM cells carrying the useful information from the cell stream.
- the control cells are removed and, with connection-related data and data relating to the current state of the connection sections, are returned to the transmitting device. taken binding-related information and possibly reduced the transmission rate.
- the invention has for its object to show a way how ABR traffic associated ATM cells are controlled in an efficient manner.
- a particular advantage of the invention is the measurement of the frequency of ATM cells belonging to ABR traffic. If other parameters are measured, these are then subjected to a control process and the result of these calculations is inserted in the information part of the retransmitted control cells.
- the further measured parameters are direct connection-related parameters which are a measure of the current fill level of the queue, the current fill level of the scheduler blocks, and the current fill level of the parameters calculated as the sum of the scheduler blocks.
- scheduler block is understood to mean a group of connections over which ATM cells are routed and are multiplexed onto a single link or virtual path at a predetermined peak bit rate.
- the further measured parameters are indirectly connection-related parameters that are a measure of the current rate that the scheduler block has used for all ABR connections of the relevant scheduler block and / or a measure of the current rate that would be free for the sum of all ABR connections of the relevant scheduler block.
- the result of the measurement of the occurrence of the frequency of the ATM cells together with the other measured parameters after the measurement process is stored in at least one input queue before they are fed as input parameters to the control method.
- the result of the control method is stored in a first queue, then converted into an exponential format and entered in the control cells.
- the advantage of converting to an exponential format is that the determined value can be stored particularly efficiently.
- the storage of the result of the control process in the first queue has the advantage that any fluctuations in speed of the control process can be compensated for.
- the control method is started by measuring the occurrence of the frequency of the ATM cells or when specified periods of time have elapsed. This has the advantage that even if no ATM cells are measured, an ER value is determined.
- the ATM cells are briefly stored in a second queue during the measurement process. This is done in order to be able to read the VCI / VPI number stored in the information part of an ATM cell. This has the advantage that the storage anyway required for statistical multiplexing is also used for the measurement process.
- FIG. 1 shows how ATM cells ⁇ , Z n , Z n + 1 belonging to an ABR connection are transmitted between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Accordingly, transmitting devices S and receiving devices E are shown.
- the transmitting devices S can have a plurality of transmitting devices (not shown in FIG. 1), in the same way the receiving devices E can also have a further plurality of receiving devices, also not shown in FIG. 1.
- a common connection section is arranged between the plurality of transmitting devices S and the further plurality of receiving devices E, to which the ATM cells originating from a transmitting device are transmitted to the receiving device in question.
- ATM cells of different connection types are routed via the common connection section.
- the ATM cells belonging to the respective connections must now be on the common connection section are subject to a set of rules according to which the ATM cells are to be transmitted. The corresponding theories are closely related to the theory of statistical multiplexing.
- PCR peak cell rate
- MCR minimum cell rate
- control cells RM k inserted.
- the ATM cells are fed together with the control cells to the receiving device in question, which defines a forward direction.
- This takes the ATM cells carrying the useful information and evaluates the corresponding information.
- the control cells RM- L .-. RM p are taken from the cell stream and fed back to the sending device, which defines a reverse direction.
- a very high peak cell rate is now stored in the information part of such a control cell RM X.
- a special field ER explicit rate field
- the current of the ATM cells is checked to see whether the entered The peak cell rate of this ABR connection can be maintained due to the current traffic load.
- measurements of the throughput rate and further connection-related parameters are carried out and fed as an input variable to a control process running in the ERCALC device. Since the control cells are fed back to the transmitting device in the reverse direction via the same switch, the value calculated in accordance with the calculation algorithm is again entered in the information part of the control cell RM in this switch. This is forwarded to the sending device, where this information is extracted and compared with the information stored here.
- the method according to the invention is now shown in detail in FIG. 2 with the aid of only one control device ERST arranged in a switch. Accordingly, the ATM cells of all ABR connections first pass through this control device. The function of this control device is to measure the incoming ABR cells individually for each connection and to apply the calculated information to the control cells RM transmitted in the reverse direction.
- the incoming ABR cells are initially temporarily stored in a queue designed as a memory Q.
- the virtual channel number VCI or the virtual path number VPI is taken from the cell header. Since at the beginning of the connection establishment an assignment between the values VCI / VPI and the
- connection type has been created, the virtual numbers VCI / VPI can now be used to determine which connection type the current connection belongs to.
- ATM cells belonging to ABR connections can be verified in this way. This is an important point of view since ATM cells of all connection types, including ATM cells from CBR or VBR traffic, pass through the switch.
- ABR_rate x is optionally determined.
- other connection-related parameters are measured. These include the current fill level of the (connection- related ) queue Q flll / the current fill level of the scheduler blocks SB flll , and the current fill level of the parameters Bu flll calculated as the sum of the scheduler blocks . After such a measurement has taken place, the measured parameters are fed to an input queue of the ERCALC device.
- the ATM cell belonging to an ABR connection is released again in accordance with a statistical multiplex algorithm (e.g. weighted fair queing) and fed to a further device B, which is designed as a buffer memory.
- a size BW_UTILISED is determined there, which reflects the non-connection-specific load on the connection section. This is the current rate that the scheduler block has used for all ABR connections of the relevant scheduler block.
- a variable BW_AVAILABLE is also determined here, which represents the current rate that would be free for the sum of all ABR connections of the relevant scheduler block.
- a number ER (Explicit Cell Rate) is determined, which represents the rate that the switch has allocated for this connection. It is expressed in cells per second. It is greater than or equal to the predetermined minimum cell rate MCR X of the connection i and is stored in the ERCALC device, the predetermined minimum cell rate MCR X always being greater than or equal to 1 cell / sec. Saving can be done in the form of a linked list.
- the number of cells per second is determined in an exponent / mantissa format. If a control cell RM now passes the control device ERST in the reverse direction, the ER field of this control cell le updated. This is done by temporarily storing the relevant control cell RM in a device ERUP. If the value in the ER field is greater than the calculated value, the calculated value is entered in the information section of this control cell. This means that this connection is overloaded. The transmitting device determines this state by comparing the entered value with a value stored internally at the beginning of the transmission process. A new, reduced value must be entered here for a new transmission.
- the transmitting device therefore does not need to enter a new value for newly pending transmissions.
