Bandwidth Management: A Congestion Control Strategy for Broadband Packet Networks - Characterizing the Throughput-Burstiness Filter

Abstract A congestion/flow/error control architecture for broadband packet networks, based on a “core” network congestion control strategy called Bandwidth Management (BWM), is described. Associated with this control architecture is a set of traffic/performance analysis modules for quantitatively assessing the overall control performance. A particular module, that quantitatively characterizes a “throughput-burstiness filter” associated with BWM, is studied through an analytically tractable traffic model, and results of analysis of this model are used to illustrate the operation of the BWM controls.
