| Summary: | Utilizing high-speed networks in distributed hard real-time systems has been extensively studied. In such a system, applications are distributed among multiple nodes connected by an underlying network. Tasks communicate with each other by exchanging messages and passing data through the network. The messages are all associated with deadlines such that they must, be delivered from the source node to the receiver node within the deadlines. Late messages are considered lost and message loss may greatly degrade the system performance, or even cause disastrous consequences. Fast host systems and networks only provide the necessary conditions for supporting such applications. However, without appropriate control and management oil the host systems and within the network, problems exist, which could make the quality of service requirements (e.g. deadlines) of hard real-time applications be violated. In this dissertation, we address these problems. We consider the integration of traffic control and management on the host systems and the network. We study issues in designing and implementing an integrated system which has two components, the host traffic manager- for the host systems and the network traffic manager for the network, respectively. These components cooperate closely to fulfill the same goal: controlling and managing data flows and the traffic in the host systems and the network to guarantee the hard real-time QoS requirements and provide high system performance. Using FDDI and ATM as two typical example networks, we study the issues in the design and implementation the integrated traffic control and management mechanism in practical networking systems. |
