for Phase I
Khaled,
The
ambiguous part still lies in the conversation path. The hub node can sink 200%
and source 200% because it is connected to 2 rings.
I'm
not adding both transmits and receive into the traffic load number.
Whether the hub can process all the traffic (200%
each direction) is outside the scope of the MAC.
e.g.
The hub can source 200% on both rings, each talk to 1/2 the station. This is a
spatial reuse property.
Proposal:
In
the hub application:
There are 16 stations, 1 to 16 like a hex clock.
Station 16 is the Hub. Stations 1 to 15 all send traffic to station 16 on
the same ring e.g. in the clockwise ring
Sum of all station traffic is 200%
of link (10G) capacity all turned on at time T1.
Traffic source from each station
is 1.3G each, destination is the hub.
Regards,
Harry
Harry,
Thanks for pointing out this ambiguity.
We had discussed that overcapacity would mean
200%. This should be added to the chart.
Now, the question becomes if that would mean
that the hub generates 100% capacity and receives 100%?
I suggest that the answer is NO.
The reason is that this would not be over
capacity since we're using dual rings. This would only be considered over
capacity if we're using one ring.
So, for dual rings (as in the charts), we
should have the hub generate 200% the ring capacity (i.e. 20Gbps is running
a 10Gbps ring), and also receive 200% of the ring capacity generated by the
other nodes.
Does this help clarify the
ambiguity?
Any discussions or suggestions?

Khaled:
I'm not clear as to the conversations (source to
destination) profile on the ring as outlined on page 22 of the attached
document.
How is the ring over
capacity?
and what is the overcapacity number? 150%,
200%...
Regards,
Harry
All,
I've been getting questions about Phase I of the performance
modeling and what's included.
Throughout the work of the ad-hoc group we came to an agreement to
these metrics and parameters.
We've been trying to put it in a document, but it got into too much
details related to headers, signals and interfaces which hindered its
progress.
In my opinion, based on several years of performance modeling as a
career, all what is needed is in the attached presentation. There are
some minor points that are left open which provide us with some
flexibility.
Please use this as a guideline for your performance modeling
efforts.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let
me know.
