Abstract
Real Time communication relies on resource reservation ics. along the path of the connection for performance guarantees, typically in terms of bounded delays. A fully distributed admission control scheme for resource allocation in real-time communications was developed for Myrinet style networks. However, this scheme, also called as the Myrinet Real-Time Protocol (MyRTP), was limited to using a priori routes provided by Myrinet. We have developed and integrated a deadlock-free routing and a resource reservation mechanism based on the above admission control algorithm. Routes are computed dynamically during connection establishment process. Flexible ding a dynamic route management infrastructure for routing is implemented by bull the Myrinet firmware in the network interface card. The advantage of flexible routing is better resource utilization but at the cost of increased connection establishment time. A suite of experiments was performed to measure the connection establishment time and admission probability for connections under varying amount of loads.
