Medium Bursts<br />

Medium bursts are expected <strong>in</strong> ATM backbone tra c or <strong>in</strong> native mode ATM<br />

applications. Medium bursts conta<strong>in</strong> more than Nrm (32) cells, but <strong>the</strong> active time<br />

is shorter than <strong>the</strong> round trip time. Though multiple RM cells are sent <strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle<br />

burst, <strong>the</strong> network feedback <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> burst arrives only after <strong>the</strong> burst has already been<br />

transmitted.<br />

Figure 7.11: E ect of UILI on Medium Bursts<br />

As shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 7.11, <strong>the</strong> UILI mechanism triggers once when <strong>the</strong> rst RM<br />

cell is sent. In <strong>the</strong> time-based proposal, <strong>the</strong> amount of decrease is proportional to <strong>the</strong><br />

idle time prior to <strong>the</strong> burst, while <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> count-based UILI, <strong>the</strong> decrease is a constant<br />

amount. In <strong>the</strong> time-based proposal, if <strong>the</strong> idle time is large, almost <strong>the</strong> entire burst<br />

may be transmitted at ICR. S<strong>in</strong>ce, <strong>the</strong> count-based proposal sends <strong>the</strong> burst almost<br />

at ACR (1 ; TDF), it provides better burst response. Accord<strong>in</strong>gly, simulation<br />

results <strong>in</strong> reference [60] show that <strong>the</strong> average source rate experienced by <strong>the</strong> bursts<br />

is higher <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> count-based option (120 Mbps) compared to <strong>the</strong> time-based option<br />

(68 Mbps).<br />
