Abstract :
Access fairness protocols for optical packet- switched ring networks can jeopardize the fairness promoted by the transmission control protocol (TCP), the transport protocol currently responsible for carrying most of Internet traffic. This paper presents the ring virtual queue (RVQ) protocol, a simple and adaptive access fairness protocol for optical packet-switched rings that is capable of providing TCP connections with high goodput and degree of fairness without requiring any information about the state of the TCP connections.
