Abstract
Any Call Admission Control algorithm and any Network Dimensioning depend on the reliability of the chosen Usage Parameter Control algorithm. The standardized ATM Usage Parameter Control algorithm is the GCRA. An ideal ATM PCR policer should guarantee a very low cell loss probability (10-9) for the cells of a well-behaved user and police contract violation as rigidly as possible. All this independently of the characteristics of the monitored stream and of the background traffic. In this paper we compare the selectivity performance and the dynamic behaviour of the GCRA to those of one of the most famous Fuzzy Policers. This, in a realistic scenario: the PCR policing of a video stream passing through an ATM multiplexer, with a self-similar background traffic.
