Fair shaper: An efficient mechanism for Internet bandwidth share over ATM in a multi-tasks OS

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a solution that integrates traffic shaping with fair queuing into a single scheduling algorithm. The proposed algorithm called 'fair shaping mechanism' is used to manage bandwidth on ATM virtual channels in non real time network terminals. It takes into account the general expression of ATM traffic parameters. We discuss the necessary modifications of these parameters for bursty IP traffic. A leaky bucket model is used to shape this traffic and a packet-to-cell parameter conversion is proposed. We present an implementation prototype of this server in the IP driver for a Solaris 2.5 operating system.
