N. Yamanaka et al., PERFORMANCE LIMITATION OF THE LEAKY BUCKET ALGORITHM FOR ATM NETWORKS, IEEE transactions on communications, 43(8), 1995, pp. 2298-2300
The performance limitation of the ''Leaky Bucket algorithm'' is analyz
ed for usage parameter control and traffic management in Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM) networks, Simulation results show that the convent
ional statistical bandwidth allocation method, which uses ''the worst
pattern derived from the cell interarrival time moments'' permitted by
the Leaky Bucket algorithm, can not guarantee the QOS. As a result, t
his paper proves that the VC/VP bandwidth allocation method based on t
he Leaky Bucket algorithm is unsatisfactory.
