Abstract

The explicit rate flow control mechanisms for ABR service are used to control congestion in ATM networks and to assign the available bandwidth of a bottleneck link among many ABR competitive users reasonably and fairly. In this paper, a control theoretic approach that uses a deadbeat-response (DR) controller to the design of an explicit rate flow control mechanism is present, and the mechanism has a very simple structure. We show that this mechanism exhibits excellent transient and steady state performance through several simulation experiments
