Large Bursts<br />

Large bursts are expected to be seen <strong>in</strong> backbone ATM l<strong>in</strong>ks. Large bursts have<br />

a burst time larger than <strong>the</strong> round trip time. The network feedback returns to <strong>the</strong><br />

source be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong> burst completes transmission.<br />

Figure 7.12: E ect of UILI on Large Bursts<br />

Figure 7.12 shows <strong>the</strong> behavior of large bursts with <strong>the</strong> August 1995 proposal.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> burst starts, UILI triggers when <strong>the</strong> rst RM cell is sent and br<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>the</strong><br />

rate to ICR. Some part of <strong>the</strong> burst is transmitted at ICR. When network feedback<br />

is received, <strong>the</strong> ACR <strong>in</strong>creases to <strong>the</strong> network directed value. If ICR is not very low<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are no fur<strong>the</strong>r oscillations and normal <strong>in</strong>crease is not hampered. However if ICR<br />

is very low UILI is triggered after <strong>the</strong> ACR <strong>in</strong>crease br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> rate down to ACR<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>. The cycle is repeated and UILI triggers multiple times dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> transmission<br />

of <strong>the</strong> burst result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> low e ective throughput and high burst response time.<br />

The time-based UILI avoids <strong>the</strong> multiple trigger<strong>in</strong>g of UILI. It triggers once when<br />

<strong>the</strong> burst starts, and reduces <strong>the</strong> ACR proportional to <strong>the</strong> idle time. The count-based<br />

UILI also triggers once, and reduces <strong>the</strong> ACR by a constant value. S<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> burst<br />

size is large, <strong>for</strong> large idle times (> RTT), <strong>the</strong> network protection provided by <strong>the</strong><br />
