A survey of traffic contorl techniques in ATM networks

摘要

This paper addresses the traffic issues in ATM networks and reviews some recent traffic control techniques. ATM is the switching and multiplexing technique chosen by ITU-T (formerly CCITT) for the broadband access to the ISDN. Design of ATM networks is divided into a call, burst and cell level. Five ATM service categories are provided to serve a variety of users. To enable each service class to function effectively, various traffic control techniques have been introduced. Among the traffic control techniques, we shall look at connection management, shaping, policing, priority control, flow and congestion control. Proposed control techniques are investigated. Neural network and fuzzy techniques are also analyzed.
