圖 4-12. Enhanced DBA 在不同 burstiness 的 variation,以及和 strict priority algorithm 的比較
由圖 4-10 可以看出 burstiness 越大則 packet out-bound rate 越大,但就 算 traffic 的 bursty 程度變大,enhanced DBA 還是可以把 mean packet out-bound rate 控制在 threshold 0.01 下,除非發生全部頻寬先給 high priority traffic 使用也無法使 packet out-bound rate 小於 threshold 的情形。
由圖 4-11 和圖 4-12 可以看出,和 bursty 較小的 traffic 相比,bursy 較 大的 traffic 的 packet out-bound rate 會在 load 較小時就接近 threshold,為了 控制 packet out-bound rate 在 threshold 下,所以要在 load 較小時就開始多給 high priority traffic 頻寬,隨著 load 變大,給 high priority traffic 先使用的頻 寬也要越大。high priority traffic 可以先使用的頻寬越多,就表示 enhanced DBA 越接近 strict priority algorithm,因此 enhanced DBA 的 high priority
average delay、jitter 會在 packet out-bound rate 接近 threshold 後,隨著 load 變大而逐漸接近 strict priority algorithm 的 high priority average delay、jitter,
所以會發生 load 變大反而 high priority average delay、jitter 變小的情形。
packet out-bound rate 接近 threshold 後,因為要多給 high priority traffic 頻寬,控制 packet out-bound rate 在 threshold 下,所以給 low priority traffic 的頻寬會變少,因此在 packet out-bound rate 接近 threshold 後,隨著 load 變 大,low priority traffic 可以拿到的頻寬會變少,所以 low priority traffic 的 average delay、jitter 會逐漸接近 strict algorithm 的 average delay、jitter,也 就是 low priority traffic performance 的改善會逐漸減小。
當 load 大到為了使 packet out-bound rate 在 threshold 下而把全部頻寬先 分給 high priority traffic 時,enhanced DBA 的 high priority performance 和 low priority performance 就都會和 strict priority algorithm 相同。
5 Conclusions
在此篇論文中所提出的架構是 radio over fiber 架構,在這個架構上的網 路是整合 EPON 和 WiMAX 的網路,EPON 在這個網路中會受到 WiMAX 的影響,針對 EPON 所受到的影響,提出 algorithm 來改善。由第四章的模 擬結果來看,提出的第一個 algorithm 可以對 EPON 網路的 system utilization 有些許改善,而提出的第二個 algorithm 可以在 packet out-bound rate (delay 大於 bound 的 high priority packet 佔全部送出的 high priority packet 的比例) 小於 threshold 的條件下,使 EPON low priority traffic 的 average delay 和 jitter 得到改善,降低 WiMAX 所造成的影響,就算要求的 threshold 程度有改變,
還是可以在滿足 packet out-bound rate 小於 threshold 的條件下,盡量給 low priority traffic 頻寬。
光纖網路和無線網路的整合是一個趨勢,因此未來還會發展出許多新 的接取網路架構來同時提供光纖網路和無線網路寬頻服務,在這些新的網 路架構下如何做頻寬分配是一個可以研究的方向。
