Abstract
To satisfy the different performance (QoS) requirements of the different types of ATM traffic, several control strategies have been described in the literature. The control strategies that operate on cell level are combinations of storage and retrieval priority policies. In the comparisons, two classes of traffic are distinguished, one class (LL) requiring a low loss probability and one class (LD) requiring a low average delay (jitter). By using the delay-loss plane — plotting the loss of the LL cells against the delay of the LD cells — the performance of the various storage and (state-dependent) retrieval policies has been compared for both stationary and time-varying traffic. In a relative ranking of the different policies, the LDOLL threshold policies give the best results, in addition to creating the possibility of setting the threshold according to the desired delay-loss trade-off.
