Supervisory Rate-Based Flow Control of ATM Networks for ABR Services

摘要

A new approach for the flow control of avail- able bit rate service in ATM network is proposed using super- visory control theory upon discrete event models. According to the approach, each rate controller adjusts the input source traffic within a specific zone decided by the supervisor. In this way, the proposed control scheme ensures congestion avoidance and the maximal successful transmission rate of the input source traffic in a fair manner upon a simplistic way of explicit rate setting for resource management cells.
