A Feedback Control Interval Shaping Algorithm under Delay Bound Restriction

Traffic shaping is an important technique for QoS guarantees in the network that provides integrated services. All shaping algorithms reduce traffic burstiness by introducing some shaping delay. However, how to achieve a trade-off between burstiness reduction and traffic delay is a challenging problem in current networks. Considering that the end-to- end delay bound is an important parameter in QoS guarantees, in this paper, we present a feedback control interval shaping algorithm (FCISA) which could shape the traffic effectively under a given delay bound restriction. Simulation results show that FCISA can achieve a satisfying performance.
