Abstract:
In the single-ER-rate (SER) flow control, at a time point, the feedback rate for a link to each ABR sessions will be the same. In this paper, we use networkflow approach to obtain a set of conditions for the max-min fairness convergence for a class of single-ER-rate flow control algorithms. Based on these conditions, we have derived three update rules-- SUR, MoSUR and SHARE. The update rules SUR and MoSUR are simple. As the simulation results show, the transient response of SUR is slow but the transient behavior of MoSUR is very close to that of SHARE. Keywords: ER-based ABR flow control, network flow.
