Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
- connection types are defined for connections via which information is transmitted according to an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM).
- ATM asynchronous transfer mode
- connections with strict requirements for cell delay times are distinguished from connections that do not have strict requirements for cell delay times.
- the former include, in particular, connections via which information is transmitted at a constant bit rate (constant bit rate, CBR), and connections via which real-time information is transmitted at a variable bit rate (rt-VBR).
- CBR constant bit rate
- rt-VBR variable bit rate
- nrt-VBR non-real-time VBR connections
- ABR available bitrate
- UBR unspecified bitrate connections
- the information on all five connection types is routed in ATM cells together via virtual paths or virtual lines with a predetermined bit rate (bandwidth).
- bandwidth which is required for the entirety of all connections carried over a connection section / connection line or a virtual path.
- the calculation of this effective bandwidth is necessary to determine what bandwidth on the common link line is still free and what bandwidth is available for the other connection types (nrt-VBR, ABR, UBR).
- the calculation of this effective bandwidth determines the rate at which the large cell memory provided for the other connection types may be emptied.
- the sending device when an ATM connection is set up, the sending device must inform a higher-level control device (call acceptance control) of predetermined parameters. This is necessary to ensure the quality of the connection for all participants (Quality of Service). For example, if too many cells are transmitted and the transmission capacity is exceeded, too many cells would have to be rejected. However, this should be avoided under all circumstances, as this always involves a loss of information. For this purpose, standardization bodies, for example, call for a cell loss probability of 10 "10 of a connection. For this reason, it is calculated when the connection is established whether this new connection to existing connections can be accepted. If the transmission capacity has already been exhausted, the requesting connection is rejected.
- a number of transmission parameters are defined to describe these processes. This includes, for example, the peak cell rate (PCR) defined on a connection. This is an upper limit for the number of ATM cells that can be transmitted per second via this connection.
- the control device is informed by the sending device of a permanently permitted cell rate (SCR) in the case of a connection with a variable bit rate. This is the upper limit of an average cell rate at which the cells are transmitted during the connection.
- SCR permanently permitted cell rate
- the control device is the maximum possible transmission capacity of the connecting line (Link Cell Rate, C) and the maximum possible load on the connecting line (p 0 ) is known.
- the former is essentially a material constant of the connecting line, while the latter defines a size with which the maximum permissible sum cell rate on the connecting line is specified. This is usually 95% of the maximum possible transmission capacity of the connecting line. Based on these parameters, it is then decided whether new connection requests can be met or not.
- an algorithm runs in the higher-level control device, by means of which the parameters received from the sending device are checked. Furthermore, these are compared with parameters that have already been calculated and relate to the instantaneous load on the connecting line. Based on these comparisons, a decision is then made as to whether the new connection request can be met and whether this connection can still be permitted.
- the parameters include use the already mentioned peak cell rate.
- the Sigma Rule algorithm is a simple procedure. This algorithm is disclosed in detail in the German patent application DP 19649646.7. Accordingly, at the start of a connection establishment, the sigma rule algorithm decides which of two classes, namely a class S and a class P, to be divided into the ATM connection that may be added. All virtual connections are assigned to class S, for which statistical multiplexing according to the sigma rule algorithm would bring a clear profit. These are usually small bit rate connections.
- All other virtual connections are assigned to class P. This includes, in particular, the connections with constant bit rate. Furthermore, all the connections are assigned here for which the parameters SCR and PCR are very close to each other - or very far apart, or which already have a high peak cell rate PCR. The criterion for this is a peak cell rate that is greater than 3% of the maximum possible transmission capacity of the Connection line is.
- the first class S is now subdivided into further subclasses S 1 ( S 2 or S 3 ) in order to achieve an even finer classification.
- the sigma rule algorithm must therefore check if a new connection request is received in accordance with specified query criteria Which of the subclasses this new connection is to be assigned to.
- the cheapest subclass S x is then automatically selected.
- a subclass S x is defined via a lower limit or upper limit of the peak cell rate PCR and the ratio of the transmission parameters SCR / PCR.
- connection acceptance algorithm is thus able to decide whether a given bandwidth, for example the bandwidth of a virtual path or a line, is sufficient overall for a group of real time connections or constant bit rate connections.
- acceptance algorithms provide a yes / no decision as to whether to accept a connection or not, they are not directly suitable for calculating the effective bandwidth for a group of connections.
- the invention has for its object to show a way how to design an acceptance algorithm in such a way that a bandwidth representative of all connections can be calculated in an efficient manner.
- the invention is achieved on the basis of the features specified in the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part.
- the effective bit rate is determined step-by-step from an initial value when connections are set up / cleared down by starting the acceptance algorithm at each step and changing the effective bandwidth by a first or a second traffic parameter in accordance with an acceptance criterion becomes.
- the yes / -no decision of the acceptance algorithm thus estimates the effective bandwidth quite accurately.
- FIG. 1 a flow chart according to the inventive method.
- the bit rate of a group of connections of the type Real Time (RT-VBR) and constant bit rate connections of the type CBR can be calculated in principle by adding up the effective bit rates BW_eff of the individual connections.
- this linear approach does not take into account that the bit rate required for a connection depends not only on the connection itself, but also on the traffic parameters of other connections with which a connection under consideration shares the capacity of a connection line. For example, if there were previously only connections of the CBR type on a connecting line, the effective bit rate BW_eff, which requires an additional real-time connection RT-VBR, corresponds to its peak cell rate PCR. If, on the other hand, the same real time connection is assumed in addition to existing real time connections, the additionally required capacity (effective bit rate of the connection) will be lower in many cases.
- the invention now takes into account that the transmission capacity BW_eff required for a group of connections cannot be determined, in particular, by adding up the bit rate values of the individual connections.
- the known sigma rule algorithm is used as the acceptance algorithm SR. No modifications are made to the Sigma Rule algorithm itself.
- the sigma rule algorithm SR is started on the basis of a predetermined effective bandwidth BW_eff and provides a decision as to whether or not the bandwidth is sufficient for a predetermined number of connections.
- this effective bandwidth BW_eff is increased or decreased by traffic parameters in accordance with the result determined by the sigma rule algorithm SR.
- the latter are the peak cell rate PCR and the permanently allowed cell rate SCR.
- the effective bit rate BE_eff of a group of connections is now estimated to keep pace with the setting up and clearing down of connections.
- the Sigma Rule Algorithm SR is called up exactly once per connection establishment and delivers -z based on the specified bandwidth. For example, the bit rate of a virtual path or a connection line - a (yes / no) decision as to whether this bandwidth is sufficient overall for a group of incoming connections or not.
- BW_eff: BW_eff n + SCR n + 1
- the effective bandwidth BW_eff n becomes the previous effective bandwidth BW_eff n plus the permanently permitted cell rate SCR n + 1 replaced for this newly added connection. If the sigma rule algorithm SR determines that the bandwidth of the existing n connections, including the possibly new (n + 1) connection, is not sufficient, the effective bandwidth BW_eff n becomes the previous effective bandwidth BW_eff n plus the peak cell rate PCR n + 1 for this newly added connection.
- the new values of the effective bandwidth determined in this way are then used as the basis for a further connection to be set up / cleared down.
- the sigma rule algorithm SR is started in the same way on the basis of the current effective bandwidth BW_eff. This is the effective bandwidth BW_eff n (of the n existing connections) minus the peak cell rate PCR ;, (for the closed i-th connection).
- the effective bandwidth BW_eff n _ 1 becomes the previous effective bandwidth BW_eff n minus the peak cell rate PCRi for replaced this disconnected connection.
- the effective bandwidth BW_eff becomes n-1 due to the previous one effective bandwidth BW_eff n minus the permanently permitted cell rate SCRi for this disconnected connection.
- the new values of the effective bandwidth determined in this way are then used as the basis for a further connection to be set up / cleared down.
- An estimate is thus determined using the method according to the invention. This differs from the exact bit rate BW_eff defined by the Sigma Rule algorithm by less than the maximum (PCR-SCR). The maximum is formed over all connections on the connecting line.
