We assume a scenario in which bandwidth updates for the connection should not be performed too frequently and the frequency of updates are thus limited to a so-called desired update rate. We propose an asynchronous model-free adaptive hysteresis algorithm for dynamic bandwidth reservations with such update frequency constraints. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by comparing its bandwidth efficiency with that of a synchronous model-based dynamic bandwidth reservation mechanism from the existing literature.EnglishAdaptive algorithmsBandwidthComputer networksComputer programming languagesElasticityHysteresisLight measurementTelecommunicationTelecommunication trafficAdaptive hysteresisesAggregate trafficsAsynchronous modelsBandwidth allocationsBandwidth efficienciesDynamic bandwidth reservationsDynamic bandwidthsEnd pointsFrequency constraintsSynchronous modelsUpdate ratesTelecommunication systemsConference Paper10.1109/MASCOTS.2007.37
