Introduction • The queueing delay occurs due to multiplexing of packets. The goal of this paper is to study the statistics of delay and delay jitter by means of queueing transient solution. • The main objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between the jitter and the characteristics of the background traffic, such as burstness, traffic load and bursty length.

T-stream B-stream IP Router ( Non-blocking Switching ) System Model • Non-blocking switch • Designed traffic stream (T-stream) • Inter-arrival time between two consecutive packets is independent • Probability density f(k) = P[ inter-arrival time = k slots ] Chin-Kai Wu, CS, NTHU
α Generate a packet at a rate of λ per time slot ON OFF β Fraction of time in ON state System Model (Cont’d) • Background traffic (B-stream) • N independent Interrupt Bernoulli Process (IBP) • Each source is described by a two state Markov chain Average packet arrival rate from a single source Chin-Kai Wu, CS, NTHU
Analysis Queueing length at the end of k-th slot before the n-th packet from T-stream With condition that ik IBP processes in ON state at k-th slot from B-stream Number of packets from B-stream arrive at k-th slot together with (n+1)-th packet from T-stream, but served before it Chin-Kai Wu, CS, NTHU

Results • Effect of traffic burstiness • Burstiness is defined as the ratio of peak rate and mean rate Chin-Kai Wu, CS, NTHU
Result • Effect of burst length Chin-Kai Wu, CS, NTHU
Conclusion • A sequence of negative jitter (clustering) can result in packet loss, while positive jitter (dispersion) results in experiencing excessive delay. The jitter pdf provide information of individual jitters. • For a given background traffic, when packet from a stream up to a large number, the transient queueing solution will close to steady state solution. • To solve the jitter problem, a buffer of size much greater than one speech sample interval is needed at the receiver to remove the delay jitter.
