Bandwidth tuning for fairness of DQDB in client-server traffic environments

An effective fairness control method is proposed for distributed queue dual bus with general bandwidth demand patterns under client server traffic environments. This method is based on a bandwidth tuning mechanism under which an intermediate pattern is first obtained from a bandwidth occupation pattern. Then, the bandwidth demand pattern is matched with the intermediate pattern by bandwidth yielding or borrowing.
