Abstract :
The available bit rate (ABR) service class is a solution for the integration of data traffic in asynchronous transfer mode networks. Many algorithms have been proposed to implement ABR services. The authors present simulation results showing poor performance by a common ABR algorithm when supporting TCP bursty traffic. As a solution to this problem, the authors propose time averaging of the parameters calculated by the ABR algorithms
