Project Title:
Implementation of IPv6's QoS over ATM Network
Team Members:
Abstract:
The goal of
our project is to develop a general traffic client node with "smart"
packet switching mechanism by merging IPv6 and the Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM) as the protocol for the QoS enabled Internet. By examining
the "Type Of Service" field in the IPv6 packets, the general traffic
client can channel different QoS packets onto the appropriate PVC/SVC which
has matching QoS parameters. The IPv6 and ATM cell co-switching
mechanism implemented by the general traffic client preserves the
connectionless feature for non-realtime applications and provide the QoS
for realtime applications through merging the IPv6 and ATM protocols.
The application of Type Of Service on congestion control algorithm (such
as establishing SVC dynamically in case of high QoS traffic
experiences congestion) will also be examined in the course of the project
if time permitted. The Opnet standard ATM model, in particular the raw
packets over ATM model, will be employed as the starting point for our
project.
