A new cut-through forwarding mechanism for supporting ATM multipoint-to-point connections

The IEEE International Conference on Networking - ICN’01, Colmar, France, July 2001.

Abstract: This paper presents a new Cut-through forwarding mechanism for multipoint-to-point communications over ATM networks. Initially, we present the cell interleaving problem and a concise description of current ATM multi-cast proposals. Then, we present an improvement to existing Cut-through for-warding schemes for providing a good level of fairness among the connections competing for the available bandwidth of the output link, while maintaining good throughput performance. This scheme is referred as Conditional Cut-through forwarding (CCT) and as simulation results show, it supports multi-point- to-point connections efficiently.
