Chapter 7Performance optimisation for the support of TCIS pThe ‘Enhanced Pure Reservation Access (EPRA)’ mechanism has been designed to supportper-block transmissions and to allow a station to request slots of up to 256-ATM cells, so thatmost of the packets waiting in queue can be sent using a single reservation request. This isshown in Figure 7.3.PRA: Reservation Request = 2 SlotsEnhanced PRA: Reservation Request = 10 SlotsFigure 7.3 – Functionality of the EPRA mechanism for different packet sizes in thetransmission queue.7.2.4 Piggyback Request (PG)The ‘Piggyback Request (PG)’ mechanism avoids reservation requests between datamessages. When there are more data packets in the transmission queue waiting to betransmitted, two unused bits of the ATM header (in the upstream slots) are used to carrythe slot request.
