Re: EF% vs. BCN

Raj,
 
Not sure I understand how you reached to the conclusion of 'the traffic at any node would be a periodic function'.
 
Can you shed some light on this?

Subject: EF% vs. BCN

I would like to findout if anyone has given
thought to Explicit Forward (EF) traffic versus BCN mechanisms
used on buffer insertion rings.
 
Assume that x% of the BW is provisioned for EF.
As EF traffic into the ring it will given highest priority
forwarding and hence to culminate in all EF packets
arriving together. The BW consumed by EF traffic over
time can become a time function.
Example x(t) = sine or square wave function of t with an amplitude
of x.
 
As a consequence available BW for the rest of the traffic
at any node can become a periodic function. There could be interplay
between this perdiodicity and the periodicity of the congestion
notification messages.
 
Has anyone simulated this or have given thought to
this?
