FAIRNESS ALGORITHM WITH DELAY EQUALIZATION IN RESILIENT PACKET RING

摘要：

Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), a ring network architecture and associated protocol, has been standardized by IEEE P802.17 working group in 2004. As a promising solution for high-speed Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), RPR is simple, cost effective and fast recovery from link or node failure. However, the existing fairness mechanisms suffer from severe oscillations under certain conditions, such as unbalanced traffic scenario and noticeable time delay incurred. With our proposed fairness algorithm, the system performance in terms of high utilization and fairness can be sustained by simply adjusting the compensating factor with respect to the time delay. In this paper, we propose adjustment of the ramping down speed to achieve comparable delay equalization effect.
