Statistical properties of a near-optimal measurement-based CAC algorithm

Abstract
: Our algorithm, called Mosquito3, allows sources to be ignorant of their statistics but offersnear-optimal utilisation of the network. Our approach is based on Large Deviation Theory : the largedeviation rate-function (entropy) of bursty ATM traffic can be estimated from measurements of trafficactivity. The entropy can be used to determine the bandwidth requirement of the traffic. In this paper,we explain the basic ideas behind the algorithm and describe its implementation. We present...
