Abstract
In this paper a new, insightful description of the object functions of a Traffic Regulator (TR) — implementing a model traffic behavior (delivered to the network) and a (user) relief function — is introduced. By identifying the relief function associated with the Leaky Bucket (LB), an explanation for the inefficiency of this widely studied TR is presented. The new class of ρ — relief LB TRs is then developed by focusing on the implementation of more flexible and efficient relief mechanisms. The improved effectiveness of the proposed class is established through a comprehensive comparison with the standard LB. The results from this study, as well as the slotted nature of the ATM environment, have motivated the introduction and study of the σ — relief TR implementing a near-periodic spacer. The induced cell loss probabilities have been derived through the analysis of a finite capacity queueing system with service opportunities determined in terms of a periodic pattern consisted of C + 1 subframes.
