    Delay Monitoring in ATM Networks
    (1999) Arora, Anubhav; Baras, John S.; Mykoniatis, George; Baras, John S.; ISR; CSHCN
    ATM networks provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to connectionsfor their lifetime, in the form of bounds on delays, errors andlosses. Performance management involves measurement of theseparameters accurately and taking control measures if required, toimprove performance. This is very important for real time connectionsin which losses are irrecoverable and delays cause interruptions inservice. In this paper, we concentrate on delay monitoringmechanisms. After presenting the OAM standard for ATM and a fewsolutions in the literature, problems still remaining are formulatedand directions being pursued to obtain solutions are indicated.

    An End-to-End Measurement-Based Scheduling Architecture for ATM Networks
    (1999) Arora, Anubhav; Baras, John S.; Mykoniatis, George; ISR; CSHCN
    ATM networks provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to connections for theirlifetime in the form of bounds on delay, error and/or loss. Theguarantees are important for real-time connections in which losses areirrecoverable and delays cause interruptions in service. Performancemanagement involves measurement of QoS parameters and applying controlmeasures, if required, to improve performance or resource utilization. Inthis paper, we propose a new hierarchical scheduling algorithm based ondynamic priorities which are adaptive to end-to-end QoS measurements madeon QoS sensitive (real-time) connections. This architecture can providebounds on average delay and delay variation with varying backgroundnetwork traffic.
