Abstract

The ATM Forum has adopted rate based schemes as standard for flow control. Although Phantom is also based on rate, no information about any implementation of it has been found. The results of a simulation study of Phantom are presented in this paper; it exhibits a low peak buffer occupancy dependency on the number of sessions, even under progressively increasing traffic loads, a high link utilization factor and convergence to a fair rate allocation, which is markedly affected by the round trip time
