ITU-T RECOMMENDATION
10、E.736 METHODS FOR CELL LEVEL TRAFFIC CONTROL IN B-ISDN Summary This Recommendation is concerned with the definition of control procedures which allow cell level GOS objectives to be fulfilled. The primary objective is to define practical CAC procedures allowing the network operator to decide when a
11、new connection can be accepted on individual ATM links or network VPCs. Theoretical background is included where necessary to clarify assumptions and to situate the context of proposed control options. This Recommendation also addresses adaptive resource management techniques, where these are requir
12、ed by defined ATM transfer capabilities, and it identifies procedures for service integration. Source ITU-T Recommendation E.736 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 2 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on 13 March 2000. Recommendation E.736 (03/2000) 1 FOREWORD ITU (
13、International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Re
14、commendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these t
15、opics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Re
16、commendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve
17、the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Reco

34、 a connection such that cell level GOS objectives are satisfied on an ATM link or network VPC as long as the sum of equivalent cell rates is not greater than the rate of the ATM link or VPC. 3.2 rate envelope multiplexing: A statistical multiplexing scheme where CAC aims to make negligible the proba
35、bility that the combined arrival rate of multiplexed connections exceeds multiplexer capacity; buffering is employed solely to account for the deviation of the cell arrival process fiom a fluid ideal where no buffer would be required to meet cell level GOS objectives. 3.3 rate sharing: A statistical
36、 multiplexing scheme where a buffer is used to absorb excess cells when the arrival rate is greater than the multiplexer output rate for significant periods of time; a buffer would be necessary to meet cell level GOS objectives even in the fluid ideal.

This Recommendation is concerned with the traffic engineering implications of the different ATM transfer capabilities standardized in Recommendat
41、ion 1.37 1 including the definition of Connection Admission Control (CAC) and resource allocation procedures. Other control actions such as usage parameter control are briefly considered in so far as it is necessary to achieve a high level of consistency between the various control capabilities. 2 R
42、ecommendation E.736 (03/2000) Traffic controls may be distinguished according to whether their function is to enable quality of service guarantees at cell level (e.g. cell loss ratio) or at call level (e.g. call blocking probability). This Recommendation is concerned with cell level controls. Consid
43、eration is restricted to the CAC procedure applied to a single ATM link or network-to-network VPC which determines simply if that ATM link or VPC is capable or not of handling the requested connection. The issue of traffic routing(i.e. determining a network path from among those possible) is dealt w
44、ith in Recommendation E. 177. B-ISDN is a connection-oriented network. Each connection is defined by a set of traffic parameters and QOS requirements. When the establishment of a new connection is requested, the network must decide if it has sufficient resources to accept it without infringing cell
45、level GOS requirements for all established connections as well as the new connection; this is the role of CAC. Given that a connection is accepted, the network must ensure that the user in fact emits traffic in conformity with the declared traffic parameters; this is the role of Usage Parameter Cont
46、rol (UPC). When more than one network is involved in a connection, it is also incumbent on each network to verify that the traffic it receives from the neighbouring network conforms; this is Network Parameter Control (NPC). Standard traffic parameters and the algorithms by which the conformity of co
47、nnections can be checked in UPC/NPC mechanisms are defined in Recommendation 1.37 1. This Recommendation is concerned with the definition of CAC procedures which allow QOS requirements to be fulfilled taking account of the information available about connection traffic and the accuracy with which it
48、 can be controlled. This Recommendation also addresses adaptive resource management techniques, where these are required by defined ATM transfer capabilities, and it identifies procedures for service integration. Depending on network architecture, cell level traffic controls may be applied to differ
49、ent transmission entities. Recommendation E.735 defines the physical and logical network entities which constitute the framework for cell level traffic control. In this Recommendation, it is generally assumed that a connection is offered to an ATM link or anetwork-to-network VPC defined by a DBR traffic descriptor or by traffic variables as considered in Recommendation E.735 (i.e. an uncontrolled constant rate VPC or a variable rate VPC). Effective traffic control of ATM connections, particularly when it is an objective to perform statistical multiplexing of variable bit rate connectio
