Dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for full-band utilization1

To improve and optimize the bandwidth utilization for multi-service packet transporting system, a kind of Dynamic Full Bandwidth Utilized (DFBU) allocation algorithm allowing a single link to use far beyond its fair share bandwidth is presented. Three important parameters as the bound on max and minimum bandwidth, the maximum packet delay and the minimum bandwidth utilization are discussed and analyzed. Results of experiments show that the DFBU-algorithm is capable of making a single link in the system use all the spare bandwidth (up to full-bandwidth) while the performance of fairness and QoS requirement is still guaranteed.
