U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Bandwidth and Traffic Allocation in ATM Networks

来自美国-巴西合作科学计划的这一奖项支持由加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)的Mario Gerla博士、巴西伯南布哥联邦大学(UFPE)的Jose A.Suruagy Monteiro博士进行的计算机网络合作研究，以及巴西里约热内卢加托利卡大学(PUC)的何塞·R·博伊松·德·马卡博士。工作的重点将是研究异步传输模式(ATM)网络的各种带宽和流量分配策略，以及局域网(LANS)、城域网络(MANS)和宽带综合业务数字网(B-ISDNS)的互连。该项目将是协同效应的。它将利用加州大学洛杉矶分校团队的专业知识来执行ATM带宽分配和互连任务。UFPE小组将专注于性能建模和拥塞控制问题，PUC调查人员将致力于流量特征和ATM带宽管理。

This award from the U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Science Program supports collaborative research in computer networking to be conducted by Dr. Mario Gerla of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Dr. Jose A. Suruagy Monteiro of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), Brazil, and Dr. Jose R. Boisson de Marca of the Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC), Brazil. The focus of the work will be to investigate various bandwidth and traffic allocation strategies for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks and the interconnection of Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) and Broadband- Integrated Service Digital Networks (B-ISDNs). The project will be synergistic. It will use the expertise of the UCLA team to carry out the ATM bandwidth allocation and the interconnection tasks. The UFPE group will focus on performance modeling and congestion control issues, and the PUC investigators will work on traffic characterization and on ATM bandwidth management.
