The simple reason that congestion can occur is that the TCA need not limit incoming traffic sufficiently to avoid it. The TCA for expedited forwarding is the only one, of many traffic classes, that seeks to eliminate potential congestion, in order to minimize delay and jitter. The parameters of other class definitions, assured forwarding for example, are intended to mark traffic at different ingress rates for different treatment when congestion occurs. Note that this anticipates that congestion will occur. Please recall that the high link utilization in an IP network is obtained in large measure because traffic loads are high enough to produce occasional congestion. Cooperative management of this congestion is the responsibility of transport-layer protocols. John At 10:43 AM 10/28/2003, Feng Y wrote: >...
