Re: [RPRWG] Definition of terms - First set

Dear Khaled

 

Thank you for your comments. I will try to quantify maximum delay bounds for different kind of services.

 

Next try.

I will change the original definition

Bottleneck-link fairness: Fairness based on a mechanism that coordinates the ring access of only those nodes that use the same links for their packet transfers.

by

Bottleneck-link fairness: Fairness based on a mechanism that controls the throughput of each node according to a fair proportion of that link between source and destination that is shared by the highest number of nodes.

 

Best regards, Harmen

Harmen,

 

This is an excellent piece of work.

 

I have a couple of questions:

• Do we want to quantify delay jitter instead of just mentioning variation in delay? I know it's a sore point in the literature, but maybe we can come up with something.
• Not sure I understand your definition for Bottleneck-link fairness

Thanks.
