Congestion detection in ATM networks

Many systems in ATM environments require the queue to be monitored for impending congestion before it happens. In this paper, we characterize impending congestion by measuring how long the queue length has exceeded a certain threshold. We present a new performance measure called the conditional over...

Description
Summary:Many systems in ATM environments require the queue to be monitored for impending congestion before it happens. In this paper, we characterize impending congestion by measuring how long the queue length has exceeded a certain threshold. We present a new performance measure called the conditional overflow probability which gives a quantitative measure on the congestion state. We develop a matrix analytic model to compute the conditional overflow probability and the profile curve.
