Link capacity sharing between guaranteed- and best effort services on an ATM transmission link under GoS constraints

• While link allocation policies in multi-rate circuit switched loss models have drawn much attention in recent years, it is still an open question how to share the link capacity between service classes in a fair manner. In particular, when an ATM link is offered calls from service classes with/without strict QoS guarantees one is interested in link capacity sharing policies that maximize throughput and keep the per-class blocking probabilities under some GoS constraints. In this paper we propose a model and associated computational technique for an ATM transmission link to which CBR/VBR and ABR classes offer calls. We also propose a simple link allocation rule which takes into account blocking probability constraints for the CBR/VBR calls and a throughput constraint for the ABR calls and attempts to minimize the blocking probability of ABR calls. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the policy and of the applied computational technique.
