Abstract

In this paper, a new congestion control mechanism, continuous framing, for broadband networks is proposed. This mechanism provides bounded end-to-end delay to all delay sensitive traffic, and guarantees loss-free transmission, if necessary. Compared with the stop-and-go discipline, it removes the extra waiting time introduced by node synchronization and supports time frames of any length. Based on this control mechanism, two enhanced mechanisms, delay sending and virtual tag, are presented to achieve intra- and interconnection multiplexing gains such that the bandwidth reservation required for each connection can be reduced significantly. Implementation issues are also discussed in the paper.
