A rate-based flow control method for ABR service in ATM networks
In this paper, we propose a closed-loop rate-based control method to available bit rate (ABR) flow control in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. This method uses a proportional-plus-derivative (PD) controller. The basic theory approach of the method is first presented. Then the simulation model used to implement and evaluate this method is described. In the analysis of the results, we show that this method ensures good system stability, full utilization of network links and some maxmin fairness in bandwidth allocation.
