Abstract

This article investigates resource allocation in ATM networks and emphasizes bandwidth allocation. Resource allocation methods are categorized, and static and dynamic allocation strategies are compared. Dynamic allocation uses actual traffic behavior, while static allocation uses only the reference traffic condition given a priori. Examples of dynamic allocation strategies are available bit rate flow control, dynamic connection admission control, and dynamic VP bandwidth control. Dynamic resource allocation is shown to be promising for situations where the a priori reference model is unclear
